278 - Murders at Karlov Manor, Episodes 1-4 Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

Karlov Manor, the home of esteemed Orzhov guildmaster Teysa Karlov, is the site of the party of the year... and also of two terrifying murders. As the mystery deepens, it's up to Ravnica's Most Famous Detective (a very real accolade) Alquist Proft and former Orzhov guildmaster Kaya Cassir to lead their own independent investigations into the heart of these grisly crimes. Clues pile up, motives abound, and yet one question still remains: Whodunnit? This week we're covering the first four episodes of the Murders at Karlov Manor story by Seanan McGuire!
