Description

The Mystery Agency returns with a brand new escape-room style puzzle solving mystery for all ages! Perfect for fans of Murdle and detective stories. 8 suspects. 1 Crime. Lots of puzzles.

London, 1932. D.I. Waterstone arrives at Bookseller Row - a narrow alleyway in the West End famed for its bookshops - to examine the dead body found there.

The D.I. soon discovers the victim was a property developer who planned to level Bookseller Row to build luxury apartments. It appears every shop keeper on the street had motive to murder him, but who committed the crime?

Put yourself to the test and follow the story, working your way through a whole host of challenges - deciphering clues at crime scenes and searching for hidden pieces of evidence in the beautifully illustrated pages - to satisfy your inner detective. Can you step into the Detective Inspector's shoes and crack the case?

Praise for The Mystery Agency

'I loved this book! Highly recommended' - Matt Lucas, Actor and comedian

'I'm just mad about the Mystery Agency, and even madder about Henry Lewis. Like, it makes me actually mad how wonderfully talented he is at puzzle creation and storytelling. This book is an utter delight, one that should be in the collection of any sharp thinker. I hated how much I loved it. Can't recommend it enough.' - Neil Patrick Harris, puzzle-master and award-winning actor
