Whodunnit?: Murder on Mystery Island

By: Anthony E. Zuiker

Narrated by: Gildart Jackson

Ten excited co-workers arrive at the beautiful Avondale Resort on a remote island in the middle of the Caribbean, having been told that they are being rewarded for their hard work and productivity. But their relaxing tropical getaway soon turns into a murderous nightmare.

After an extravagant first night dinner, the guests retire to their lavish suites only to be awakened by an ear-splitting bang. They rush to the smoking parlor to find Jordan, the company’s intern, dead - a massive hole in his chest. Giles, the consummate English butler who seems to be in charge, announces that they must solve the crime or be the next victim.

The killer, who has booby-trapped the island and cut off phone and Internet connections, is hiding among them. Is it the HR representative with a penchant for Bloody Marys, the twenty-two-year-old claims processor with the purity ring, or perhaps the head chef of the company cafeteria? The killer plays with their minds, inviting them to explore the beautiful resort, from the infinity pool with the high dive to the white sand beach complete with jet skis and snorkel gear.

Anthony E. Zuiker is the creator and executive producer of the CSI franchise, which includes CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, and CSI: NY. His mystery reality show, Whodunnit?, is his first foray into unscripted television. He lives in Los Angeles with his three children and his wife, Michelle.

Whodunnit? Murder on Mystery Island is performed by the show's host/butler, accomplished narrator Gildart Jackson.

Good freebie

A quick who done it that was pretty good and also a freebie from Audible. The age old story of a group of trapped people forced to play a game for their individual survival. Some of the killings were pretty abrupt and others were done with a little flair. Good narration that added to the book.

The formula is starting to get tired

I truly enjoyed book 1 in the series and looked forward to the second book.

But the gimmick that has the same butler handling this second "game" is too bizarre to believe.

Also, some of the plot twists in this second book violate the spirit of the premise of the game.

I'm glad the books were free, and I enjoyed the two of them. But I don't think I'll continue the series.

We loved it!

I love love this book. And the one that comes before it. Anthony Zuiker paints an amazing picture of murder, mystery, comedy, and suspense. At times there is repetition and the story slows down, but who doesn't like a classic whodunnit? Highly recommended
