Delitto nella foresta di Grenholme

by Antony Johnston

Durante le riprese di un videoclip, una giovane cantante rock viene trovata morta al centro di un antico cerchio di pietre, nel cuore di una foresta isolata. La polizia indaga tra i membri della band e gli eccentrici abitanti del villaggio vicino, ma c’è un problema: ognuno ha un alibi inattaccabile. Mentre la tensione cresce, il paese si divide tra razionalità e superstizione. Molti attribuiscono l’omicidio al leggendario Guardiano dei Cerchi, una figura del folklore locale che, secondo una leggenda, protegge la foresta. Inoltre, sulle pietre sono comparse strane incisioni che potrebbero svelare una verità sepolta da tempo. Sei tu a condurre l’indagine: scegli chi interrogare, decifra i simboli, apri le porte del villaggio e affronta i segreti di chi vive nell’ombra. Le tue decisioni possono portarti alla verità... o alla rovina. Perché qui nessuno è sincero. E l’assassino potrebbe colpire di nuovo.

Reviews

[Silvia Devitofrancesco]

3.5 stelline
Libro interattivo in cui bisogna indagare sul misterioso omicidio di una cantante che affonda le sue radici in credenze e superstizioni.
Tanti indizi da trovare e vere e proprie sfide per mettere alla prova il lettore, il quale trascorre alcune ore facendo supposizioni.
