Welcome to the Puzzle Murder Mystery Club: a puzzle book experience like no other. Put your logic and reasoning to the test and master the art of deduction as you examine clues, eliminate the suspects, and piece together the evidence to catch the killer in their tracks.

Rosa Martinez is a young journalist looking for a break from big-city life. She visits her great aunt Martha in the quiet, charming village of Wobberly End. On her first night in town, she meets the Puzzle Club--a group of four friends who come together regularly to solve puzzles. The next morning, however, a body appears in the middle of the market square--and all the signs point to murder. But whose is the body in the middle of Wobberly Edge? And, more importantly, who killed them? The puzzle club members soon find themselves solving a mysterious murder instead of cryptic crosswords. Their investigation involves a village full of rumors, a lavish gala dinner, and a hunt for both the killer and the victim...

Do you have what it takes to make an accusation and pin down WHO, WHY, and HOW? Dust off your deerstalker and get your pens at the ready as you join a team of amateur sleuths to solve over 70 cryptic puzzles and catch the culprit!

Puzzle types include:

• Deductive logic
• Mastermind-style combination and safe cracking
