Let’s Play Murder

Kesia Lupo

Reading: If the reader enjoys puzzles, pause occasionally to discuss clues and competing explanations. Check in after scenes involving danger or past trauma, and allow space to talk through the ending once the mysteries resolve.
Themes: Competition and moral choice: Veronica must solve the mystery while competing for a cash prize and deciding whether winning or another priority matters more. The book leaves its stance open to more than one reading.
Trauma and the past: Veronica has a troubled past and secrets, while the story significantly addresses trauma and grief. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
Virtual reality and danger: The players enter a VR game where strange events occur and contestants may die in both the game and real world. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
Worth knowing: Before choosing it, consider whether the reader is comfortable with murder-mystery danger, players dying in the game and real world, violence, bullying, grief and trauma.
