An innovative, interactive elimination puzzle book

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

There are six culprits to catch in this puzzle book. Across six playful mysteries, such as Who snatched the last doughnut?, Who stole the sausages?, Who smashed granny’s favourite vase?, and Who hid the remote control?, readers must read the clues and eliminate the suspects one by one.

Each case contains the faces of almost 600 potential suspects, and somewhere in this sea of faces hides the offender. Each case provides the reader with 15 specific clues to sort the innocent from the guilty.

The mission is simple but requires careful skills of deduction:

Analyze the clues: From ‘I don’t have a moustache’ and ‘I have curly hair’ to ‘I have floppy ears’ and ‘I have four whiskers’, the reader is given everything they need to know to solve the case.

Eliminate the innocent: Methodically narrow down the suspects by stripping away those who do not fit the clues.

Catch the culprit: Find the one face that fits every single clue.

There are no red herrings or tricks in the story. This is a pure test of logic, observation, and deduction. Catch them all if you can.
