WHODUNNIT PUZZLES

Murder mysteries you read like a novel and solve like a case. Twelve suspects, a Ledger after every chapter, and no answers in the book.

How a whodunnit puzzle works

Read. A country house, a storm, a body in the boathouse. The story never says which sentences matter — it only promises that everything you need is on the page. Read with a pencil.

Strike. After every chapter, open the Ledger: the full list of suspects, every time. Strike out a name only when facts put that person somewhere else, and write the page that proves it. Struck is struck.

Check. Add up the ID numbers of the names still standing and enter the code here. The Archive says yes or not yet — never who. When one name is left, deliver your verdict: who, how, where, when, why.
