Singing Canaries

Five friends walked into the nightclub. Only four came out.

What should have been an ordinary night; music pounding, glasses clinking, laughter swallowed by neon and noise, ends in bloodshed. By morning, one friend is dead, and the others are bound together by a secret none of them are ready to face.

Grief settles in quickly. Guilt follows close behind.

As the shock fades, questions rise in its place. Who left first? Who was lying? Who knows more than they're saying? Once inseparable, the group begins to splinter under the weight of half-truths and unspoken resentments. Memories don't line up. Alibis shift. And silence becomes its own kind of confession.

Detective Neverson is certain of one thing: someone in this shattered circle is hiding the truth. But every interview reveals a new contradiction, every motive feels dangerously plausible, and every version of the night ends just short of clarity. As tensions escalate and the past refuses to stay buried, Neverson races to unravel a carefully woven web of deceit, before fear turns fatal and the night claims another victim.

The Singing Canaries is a chilling, atmospheric murder mystery where loyalty erodes, secrets fester, and the truth hides in plain sight. Dark, twist-laden, and emotionally sharp, this locked-room-style investigation explores how far people will go to protect themselves and what happens when the truth refuses to stay quiet.

Because in this case, silence isn't safety.
And the truth doesn't just hide.
It sings.
