46,600 SUSPECTS. 18 CLUES. 1 KILLER. CAN YOU SOLVE THE CRIME?
Test your detective skills in the addictive murder mystery puzzle book sensation - newly revised and expanded.
Now with updated graphics, a brand-new culprit, and a never-before-seen, thrilling bonus puzzle.
Alice Starling is missing. In her apartment, the police find three things:
- A DEAD BODY
- A CRYPTIC NOTE
- A FOLDER OF NAMES
Alice insists she is innocent – but she needs your help. In a hastily written letter, Alice has left you with 18 specific clues and a list of 46,600 potential suspects. Somewhere in this sea of names hides a murderer.
YOUR MISSION IS SIMPLE BUT CHALLENGING
- Analyse the Clues: Use the 18 pieces of evidence Alice entrusted to you.
- Eliminate the Innocent: Methodically narrow down the list by stripping away those who do not fit the criteria.
- Identify the Culprit: Find the one name that satisfies every single clue.
A NEW GENRE OF INTERACTIVE MYSTERY
Forget everything you know about whodunnits. This first-of-its-kind, immersive logic puzzle is easy to grasp and impossible to put down. This is a pure test of logic, observation, and deduction.
Do you have what it takes to clear Alice’s name?

About the Author
Iris Starling has spent most of her life trying to stay one step ahead of her younger sister's chaos. If there is trouble to be found, Alice Starling has an uncanny knack for stumbling directly into it. Following Alice's unexplained disappearance, Iris assembled the evidence she left behind – a folder of names, a series of cryptic clues and a mystery no one has yet solved. This book is her attempt to find out what really happened.
