How to play
Read one clue.
Look for the name or entry features it describes. Each case includes its own instructions and clues.
Highlight what you rule out.
Use one color or give each clue its own. Keep the possibilities that fit and return whenever you feel like another page.
Check your remaining answers.
The online answer desk confirms each correct part separately. Solve the whole case to read the story ending.
Before you begin
How are these different from logic-grid mysteries?
You search lists and eliminate entries using the supplied clues. You do not need to build a logic grid or act out a character. Full cases include separate searches for a person, a place, and either a weapon or a stolen item.
Can I solve on a tablet or on paper?
The Etsy editions are downloadable PDFs. Import one into a PDF annotation app to highlight on a tablet, or print pages for personal use. Apps, devices, pens, and printing are not included; some apps charge separately. A Season for Murder also has a separately sold paperback on Amazon containing the same four cases.
Are solutions printed in the book?
No. Use the book’s answer-checking link when you are ready. Internet access is needed to check answers and read the ending, but you can work through your downloaded or printed pages offline.
