Wax Dat | Chapter Six

from Novel Idea

In Chapter 6, Mollie lets the investigation take a back seat as something much more personal comes to light for Chalk. A secret he's been keeping threatens to unravel not just the case, but his entire life.Back at Willow Manor, not everyone is playing nice. A tense encounter between two of the house's residents shows just how high the stakes really are, and just how far someone will go when they feel cornered. It turns out that the most dangerous person in the room might not be who you'd expect.There's also the small matter of a detective in skinny jeans, a Shaggy reference and a questionable loyalty card that raises a lot of eyebrows.By the end of the chapter, Chalk finds himself in an impossible situation — one wrong move and everything falls apart. 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.
