Jack and his friend Jerry are on a road trip when their car breaks down. They go to a manor to ask for help and while they're there the hostess tells them they're going to play a game and to not break character. Things get bizarre and absurd as the game goes on.

This book is so funny, I was giggling at just about every moment. It has vibes of cozy mystery mixed with cosmic horror. Also the audiobook has sound effects, which made the listening experience more fun and immersive.
