"The result is something rather extraordinary: a novel where you really are in charge, where you really will solve the murder — providing you’ve followed the clues correctly"

Great review of Can You Solve the Murder?:
www.gamespew.com/2025/09/can-...

Can You Solve the Murder? is a videogame in a book, and we absolutely need more of it – GameSpew

Can You Solve the Murder? by Antony Johnston brings a choose-your-own-adventure style to adult fiction, and the result is something special.

Academics are very concerned that the BBC is changing access to its archival material by releasing material in an orchestrated way rather than allowing researchers to ask their own queries. Very worrying development and a good overview by @vanessathorpe.bsky.social
