Murder Mystery Advent Calendar for Adults

About this book

Two murders a day. Twenty-four days. A floor plan for every crime, and exactly one person who could have done it.

This December, swap the chocolate for a crime scene. Each morning from December 1 to Christmas Eve you open two new floor-plan murder cases. Read the statements, place every suspect on the map, and find the one person who was alone with the victim.

What's inside

48 floor-plan murder logic puzzles, two for every day of Advent (Dec 1 · A and Dec 1 · B through Dec 24 · B), each with its own Christmas story, set in five Hollowmere floor plans: a snowed-in inn, a family home on Christmas Eve, a Christmas-market café, the library on carol night and a toy-shop office in the December rush.

A gentle difficulty ramp: easy cases Dec 1–8, medium Dec 9–16, hard Dec 17–24.

Clear rules you can actually follow: two how-to-play pages with the method, plus rule cards on every case for each kind of clue it uses, so you always know exactly what "beside", "not beside", "at a window" or a reserved row means (and that "beside" counts through walls).

Step-by-step solutions for every case: every deduction in order with its reason and its own mini grid. No solution page names the murderer: the answers (solved grid and murderer) are printed upside down in a separate answer key at the back, so you can read the first step as a hint without spoiling the ending.

Exactly one solution per case, checked by computer, so every mystery is fair.

Easy on the eyes: crisp black-and-white floor plans with heavy walls and large squares on big 8.5 x 11 pages, one case per two-page spread, 180 pages in all.

A gift from the first page: a decorated title page, a "This book belongs to" gift page and a welcome to Hollowmere.

No app, no QR codes, no phone. Just a pencil.

Who it's for

Adults and older teens who love logic puzzles, cozy mysteries and whodunits, and complete beginners to grid-based deduction. If other murder puzzle books left you wondering how the answer was reached, the worked solutions here show every step.

A perfect Christmas countdown gift for the mystery lover in your life: give it before December 1 for a daily ritual all through Advent, or solve the cases together with a partner over hot cocoa.

Add it to your cart and count down to Christmas one crime scene at a time.
