In chapter four, Mollie picks up the story again and this time leans fully into romance, secrets and fallout. With Augustus Smythe’s death still hanging over Willow Manor, the latest chapter shifts focus to one of the house’s most intriguing residents and begins to explore the emotional mess sitting beneath all the glamour, money and suspicion.
As the guests reel from the detectives’ latest revelations, attention turns to a relationship from Smythe’s past — and Mollie gives us a more tender, cinematic glimpse of what may have been really going on behind closed doors. Back in the present, the contents of the safe finally come into play, prompting more questions than answers and putting the house on edge once again.
The chapter also nudges the mystery forward in a big way: loyalties feel shakier, emotions are running higher, and a fresh clue emerges that could completely change how one key character sees everything that’s happened so far.
By the end of Episode 4, the body has finally been removed, the emotional stakes have risen, and Willow Manor is left with yet another discovery that hints the truth may be far more complicated — and far more personal — than anyone first thought.
Matt and Mollie are writing a novel… together. They alternate chapters in a bid to create a gripping murder mystery. The catch? They have completely different ideas about what the book should be.
Hosted by Matt Edmondson and Mollie King, with ever-patient narrator and referee Steffan Powell, each has just one week to continue the story — reacting, escalating, derailing and occasionally rescuing the plot from the other. Steffan reads the chapters aloud and tries to keep the whole thing vaguely coherent.
What starts as a simple premise becomes a competitive, unpredictable battle of twists, cliffhangers and creative one-upmanship.
Part comedy show, part audiobook, part social experiment — and by the end, there’s a complete original novel, written in real time.
Welcome to the story.
