Find Rosalind's Killer: A Murder Mystery Logic Puzzle - 7,500 Suspects, 18 Clues, One Killer - Paperback

by Tessa Hollcroft (Author)

Rosalind is dead, and one of 7,500 people did it.

Every resident of the town had known her. Many had reason to wish

her harm. But only one of them is guilty - and it falls to you to

find out who. This is not a novel to be read from beginning to end.

It is a case file to be worked, a puzzle to be solved, and a killer

to be caught using nothing but logic and a steady hand.

HOW IT WORKS

Inside this book you will find a complete list of all 7,500

suspects, and a set of eighteen clues. Every clue is a plain,

verifiable fact about the person who committed the crime - the

letters in their name, the length of it, the way it begins or ends.

None of them is a trick. None of them is a false trail. Taken

together, they point to exactly one person.

Your task is simple to describe and deeply satisfying to carry out.

Read a clue. Cross out every suspect it rules out. Move to the next,

and the next, watching the list of possibilities shrink with each

one. When you have worked through all eighteen, a single name will

remain uncrossed. That name is the killer.

A REAL PUZZLE, FAIRLY MADE

This is a puzzle built to respect the solver. The suspect list is

deliberately shuffled, so there are no shortcuts, no blocks of names

to skip, and no way to guess your way to the answer. Every name must

be read and judged on its own merits. And unlike many puzzles of its

kind, the solution here is guaranteed: each book is verified to

resolve to exactly one suspect, so the answer you reach through

careful deduction is the only answer possible.

There is no story to follow, no characters to keep track of, and no

prior knowledge required. What you bring to the table is patience,

attention, and the quiet pleasure of reasoning your way to the

truth. What the book provides is a case that holds together from the

first clue to the last.

WHO IT IS FOR

Find Rosalind's Killer is made for puzzle enthusiasts who want

something more absorbing than a crossword, for mystery readers who

have always wanted to do the detecting themselves, and for anyone

who enjoys pure deductive reasoning. It makes an ideal companion for

a quiet evening, a long journey, or a rainy afternoon, and a

memorable gift for the armchair detective in your life. All you need

to begin is a pen, a comfortable chair, and a sharp eye.

The suspects are waiting. The clues are on the page. The answer is

sealed at the back - but see how far you can get before you turn to

it.

One name. Eighteen clues. 7,500 suspects. The rest is up to you.
