"I've been to a few murder mystery parties where the kits have come from different sources but none as fun or as interesting as the country western murder mystery from lin cognito! The characters had interesting and well-written backstories so it's easy to put yourself in their shoes (loved practicing my country accent), the clues took some time to figure out but weren't impossible, the storyline was engaging and funny, and the reveal was really satisfying. a very fun night with friends! Can't recommend enough."
