Test your detective skills in the addictive murder mystery puzzle book sensation—newly revised and expanded.

*Now with updated graphics, a brand-new culprit, and a never-before-seen, thrilling bonus puzzle.*

Alice Starling is missing. In her apartment, the police find three things: 

  • A DEAD BODY
  • A CRYPTIC NOTE
  • A FOLDER OF NAMES

Alice insists she is innocent—but she needs your help. . .

In a hastily written letter, Alice has left you with 18 specific clues and a list of 46,600 potential suspects. Somewhere in this sea of names hides a murderer. 

YOUR MISSION IS SIMPLE BUT CHALLENGING: 

  • ANALYZE THE CLUES: Use the 18 pieces of evidence Alice entrusted to you.  
  • ELIMINATE THE INNOCENT: Methodically narrow down the list by stripping away those who do not fit the criteria. 
  • IDENTIFY THE CULPRIT: Find the one name that satisfies every single clue.
