{"product_id":"2940014179744","title":"Out of Order Murder Mystery","description":"Take everything you've ever known about mysteries, and get ready to toss it out the window. Preferably at the neighbor who stole your newspaper this morning. Go on. We'll wait here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis story is a spoof of murder mysteries and courtroom dramas, with a bit of science fiction thrown in. It is told, well, out of order. Hence the title. Because of that, the victim finds out ahead of time that he may be murdered and has a chance to take evasive action. Naturally, things don't go well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of the characters come to realize they are not in real life, but have been caught up in \"a stupid Uncle Bert story.\" Yet, they know the only way out is to proceed through the story to the end. Action alternates back and forth between courtroom drama and events happening outside the courtroom. And some actions even happen before other actions start. Or end. Or, in the middle of other actions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWho will live, who will die and who will escape having to end up in another one of Bert's stories? Will anyone actually get to go on vacation? Whodunit?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA laugh-out-loud, madcap short story.","brand":"Untreed Reads","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079951827184,"sku":"2940014179744","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014179744_p0.jpg?v=1763602661","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014179744","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
