Book Synopsis

The game is afoot! This sumptuously illustrated book invites you to solve a series of murder-mystery-themed puzzles set on an English country estate.

When the beautiful socialite and heiress of Hatchett's Biscuits & Wafers is found dead at her annual summer soirée, you find yourself at the scene of the crime: the mysterious Quandary Park, a country manor full of riddles, hidden doors, and secrets. Thanks to your puzzle-solving prowess, you've been hired to investigate the events surrounding the death of Adelaide Hatchett and her quirky cast of party-guests-turned-suspects, including the high-spending scoundrel Cyril Blight, the infamous tattoo artist Tatiana Outlawe, and Bertrand Hellebore, the retired botanist who is convinced Adelaide's last will and testament was forged.

Over the course of this book, you will explore the eccentrically decorated manor, discover clues in the sculpture garden, and sleuth out evidence in the nearby village. But be careful--the murderer is still on the loose! With gorgeous gothic-style illustrations throughout, this clever book of logic puzzles will have you poring over both the story and the art to catch the Quandary Park killer. Prepare yourself for an intriguing adventure full of wit and opulence, plus a touch of the macabre.
