The Puzzle Master's Casebook: An Elimination Mystery Puzzle Collection for Adults Featuring 816 Clues Across 145 Chained Sudoku, Crossword, and Word Search Puzzles

Eleanor Hartley walked out of her office on an ordinary Tuesday and never came home. Forty-eight people saw something that day. Some saw her clearly. Some are honestly mistaken. Only you can work out which is which.

This is not a bag of unrelated puzzles. It is one mystery built from 145 puzzles wired together in a fixed chain. Solve a sudoku to unlock a decoder. Decode the numbers to find the real clues in a crossword. Use those answers to crack a word search that hides a witness statement and tells you which puzzle to open next. Collect every sighting, strike the accounts that contradict each other, and the Elimination Grid will leave exactly one answer standing.

Most solvers are strong at one puzzle type. This casebook asks you to master all three, then think like a detective. Master all three or the trail goes cold.
