Whodunit Puzzles: Summon Your Inner Sleuth to Solve 10 Cozy Mysteries

Complete more than 80 brainteasers to deduce whodunit in this fiendishly fun collection inspired by the work of Agatha Christie.

Mischief is afoot, but you can stop it by solving this townful of mysteries. Agnes Whitstable, renowned amateur detective in the sleepy village of Bishop’s End, guides you through ten of her most intriguing cases: murders, thefts, and forgeries, encountering plenty of shady characters along the way. Each chapter contains a crime to solve, and each puzzle reveals a clue to crack the crime. All kinds of puzzles—from ciphers, cryptograms, and mazes to spot-the-difference, sudoku, and word searches—will challenge your wits, so put the kettle on and sharpen a pencil and your powers of observation. As with any good mystery, some people and locations appear more than once, offering details that may come in handy for later cases, and Detective Reports will put your memory to the test. If you encounter a red herring or hit a dead end, the puzzle key at the back has all the answers.
