Publisher's Summary

'Fiendishly clever and highly addictive.' Ian Moore

The perfect Christmas gift for armchair detectives – Agatha Christie meets Murdle.

12 murderous mysteries to read.

20 perplexing puzzles to solve.

1 mystifying murder to unravel…

Mastermind Puzzlemaster Sarah Dunnakey cordially invites you to crack the code of who killed Edward Luddenham.

It’s the first anniversary of the mysterious death of Edward Luddenham, found dead at his home on the Yorkshire moors one frosty Christmas Eve.

Now nine people gather at his manor house for the reading of the Will. Each has their own motivations for coming: curiosity, duty, unrequited love, desperation, greed.

They have been instructed to bring a “festive mystery story” to share.

But all you need is a pencil.

Safe from the biting cold and the relentless snowfall outside, settle in with your favourite tipple in hand, as the storytelling begins.

Though you’ll need to keep your wits about you – for among those present is Edward’s killer…

Can you solve the puzzles and unmask the murderer before they strike again?

Agatha Christie meets Murdle with these twelve puzzling whodunnits from renowned professional puzzler Sarah Dunnakey, that will test even the most seasoned of sleuths this Christmas.
