One body. Four killers. Four true solutions. You choose which truth to find.
Ch teau Reverie's second Michelin star hangs on tonight's service - and the inspector dining incognito at table six knows it. When founder-chef August Rook collapses at his own pass mid-service, the general manager makes a choice before anyone calls it a crime: seal the room, hold every door, protect the star. No police until dawn.
You are a paying guest at table nine, sealed in with the brigade and a body. The official reading is a stopped heart. The real reading depends on which thread you pull.
Pull the tasting spoon thread: The sous chef's station ran the cross-contamination that shouldn't have been survivable - if the safeguard built to save him hadn't already been sabotaged.
Pull the chef's pour thread: The sommelier poured his last glass herself. The cellar keeps records of what's really in every bottle.
Pull the cold store thread: The pastry chef signed for the nitrogen delivery. The walk-in's own log knows how much came back out.
Pull the oldest friend's thread: The investor who built this restaurant with him gave him his nightly injection himself - vitamins, he said. The vial tells a different story.
Four threads. Four clinchers. Four true endings - each one completely deducible from the clues on your path. Read again, pull a different thread, and convict someone new. The evidence will hold either way.
The Last Booked Service is the fifth book in the Iris Kerr Interactive Series - closed-circle murder mysteries where the culprit genuinely changes with the path, and fair play is never broken.
