Step into your own police investigation with this thrilling collection of crime scene puzzles - a fresh take on the classic whodunit for fans of crime dramas and modern mysteries.

There's never a quiet day in Seth's Well, Vermont. The local deputy has been joined by a ragtag group of investigators as they attempt to get to the bottom of a series of strange goings-on in town. Is there some malevolent criminal conspiracy at play? Has a crime syndicate got the town in its grip? Or, as most people suspect, is the raft of recent crime all just one big coincidence?

Follow the story and solve the puzzles in this narrative puzzle book, filled with over 100 cases to crack with accompanying illustrations. These crime scene puzzles will test your logical thinking as you examine the evidence, weigh up the suspects, spot the red herrings, and catch the culprit. As you crack the cases, see if you can unravel the larger mystery that menaces the town.

A must for fans of crime, mystery, and puzzles alike.
