Place every suspect on the floor plan. Whoever is left with the victim did it. Forty cosy village murder mysteries solved by pure logic. Each case is a floor plan — a cottage, a tea room, the harbour, the manor on Boxing Day — divided into areas and furnished with real things: armchairs, tables, deckchairs, trees. One person stood in each row and each column. The cards tell you where: beside a lamp, alone with Clive, north of Dorothy, the only person on a rug. Place everyone, and the one person left in the victim's area is the murderer. What is inside Forty cases, from 6 × 6 cottages to 9 × 9 hotels and fairs, graded from gentle to fiendish A glossary that gives every clue word one exact meaning, so no case is vague Every floor plan drawn with black-and-white silhouettes, clear at any size Full solutions at the back: the solved plan, the murderer, and the order to place people in Why this one Exactly one answer to every case, proved by machine, and no guessing needed Difficulty measured, not guessed — each case is graded by the reasoning it takes No clue is padding — anything the solution did not need has been removed Sudoku-style placement plus a whodunit, in a village you will want to go back to 55 pages · 8.5 x 11 inches · complete answers included Published by Honeywick Press.
