Large Print Murder Mystery Advent Calendar Puzzle Book for Seniors

About this book

Twenty-four days. Twenty-four puzzles. One killer to catch before Christmas.

On the first of December, the whole fishing village of Tern Harbor, Maine, gathers for the Tree Lighting Supper. By morning, old Cornelius Whitcomb lies at the foot of the lighthouse stairs, and his treasured 1852 keeper's spyglass is gone. Everyone calls it an accident. Retired postmistress Mabel Pike and her basset hound, Biscuit, know better.

Open one day each morning from December 1 to Christmas Eve. Read the next short chapter of a cozy, gentle mystery, then solve that day's large-print puzzle to reveal a new clue. Cross off suspects, weapons and places as you go, and name the culprit before Mabel does in the Christmas Eve finale.

Inside you'll find:

• True large print: every letter and number in the book, answers included, is at least 16.5 point, in the easy-to-read Atkinson Hyperlegible typeface
• A different puzzle each day: 11 word searches, 5 crosswords, 5 cryptograms and 3 logic puzzles, each with clear instructions
• A real whodunit: six suspects, six possible weapons and six places. The clues fit together so that exactly one answer is left on Christmas Eve
• Clues you can trust: every puzzle was checked by computer. Each word search word appears exactly once, every logic puzzle has a single solution, and every hidden clue comes out right
• Handy extras: a Suspect Board, an Evidence Board, an advent tracker, a Clue Log, and room for notes
• Full answers for every puzzle, plus The Reveal, which shows how all the clues fit together

Cozy and clean with no gore, it's a thoughtful Christmas gift for grandparents, parents, book clubs and anyone who loves a good mystery. Begin on December 1, or any day you like.
