What makes these books different
This is a cozy mystery with a little something extra. You don't just follow the investigation. You run your own.
A story in fifty short chapters
Each chapter is about a page long. Read one with your morning coffee, or read ten on a rainy afternoon.
A word search after every chapter
Every puzzle is built from the chapter before it: the names, the places, the things that just happened.
Twenty-one hidden clues
Somewhere in those fifty puzzles, twenty-one clues are hiding. Find them and write them down as you go.
One final puzzle that names the killer
After chapter forty-nine, your clues unlock the Moment of Truth puzzle. Solve it, and the letters left over spell the killer's name.
A fair and cozy whodunit
Every clue you need is on the page before the reveal. No graphic violence, no explicit content. Just you, a pencil, and a killer to catch.
