Make It Jammy | Chapter Eight
Show notes
In Chapter 8, it's Mollie's turn — and she delivers what might be the most important chapter yet. With Chalk still processing everything that happened with his brother, a new face arrives on the scene: a legendary retired detective, pulled out of retirement to help crack the case.
The two meet for the first time and it's immediately clear this is exactly the kind of partnership Chalk needs right now. Over coffee and donuts, they compare notes on the investigation so far — who's been ruled out, who's still in the frame, and what doesn't quite add up about the night of the murder.
Meanwhile, one of the remaining suspects makes a dramatic entrance at the police station — dark glasses on, lawyer in tow, and absolutely zero intention of keeping a low profile. What starts as a cocky PR exercise quickly turns into something much bigger when a bombshell piece of evidence is slammed down on the desk.
By the end of the chapter, everything the group thought they knew about the relationships at the heart of this case has been turned on its head. A brand new motive has emerged, one suspect is looking far more dangerous than anyone realised, and the investigation has taken a sharp and dramatic turn heading into Chapter 9.
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.
