by Tessa Hollcroft (Author)
The town of Alderbrook has 7,000 residents. One of them is a killer.
Cordelia is dead, and everyone who ever crossed her path is a
suspect. What she left behind is a set of facts - eighteen true,
verifiable clues about the person responsible.
This is not a story to be read. It is a case to be solved.
Work through the clues one at a time. Each is a precise fact about
the killer. Cross out every name that does not fit, and keep going
until a single name remains. That name is the guilty party.
There are no narrative tricks and no false trails. The suspect list
is deliberately shuffled, so every name must be read and judged on
its own - there are no shortcuts and no way to guess your way to the
end. Each puzzle resolves to exactly one verified solution.
An absorbing, screen-free challenge for puzzle enthusiasts, mystery
readers, and anyone who enjoys pure deductive reasoning. Ideal for
quiet evenings, travel, and gifting. All you need is a pen and a
sharp eye.
The answer is sealed at the back of the book.
