About the Book

AT MIDNIGHT, LADY AURELIA VALE APPEARED ON THE BALLROOM BALCONY. SHE HAD ALREADY BEEN DEAD FOR TWENTY MINUTES. At the Nocturne Society’s Midnight Masquerade, Lady Aurelia Vale planned to expose the person responsible for stealing millions from the society’s charitable foundation. Before she could reveal the name, she was murdered. Yet at exactly midnight, a silent figure wearing Aurelia’s white swan mask and ceremonial cloak appeared before hundreds of masked guests.

The figure delivered a sealed announcement, bowed to the ballroom and disappeared into the crowd. No one saw the face beneath the mask. Investigators have narrowed the search to 6,080 possible names. One of them belongs to the person who murdered Lady Aurelia Vale and assumed her identity at midnight. Your task is to find the killer. Work through 20 carefully constructed clues and eliminate every suspect who cannot be the murderer.

Nineteen clues accurately describe the killer’s name, printed number or position in the membership register. One clue is a deliberate lie. Identify the false statement, follow the remaining evidence and uncover the only name that survives.

Inside this interactive murder mystery elimination puzzle: 6,080 numbered suspects printed in a complete searchable register 20 logic-based clues involving names, letters, numbers and register positions One deliberately false statement hidden among the evidence One concealed murderer who can be identified through deduction

5.0

An unusual combination of an atmospheric murder mystery and a challenging logic puzzle.

The story of a murder at a masquerade ball immediately draws you in and makes you want to begin investigating. I especially liked the idea of 20 clues, one of which is deliberately false. Finding the killer among more than 6,000 suspects requires patience, close attention to detail, and analytical thinking. The challenge is not easy, but it is incredibly satisfying when all the clues finally come together. I highly recommend it to fans of unconventional mysteries and serious brain teasers.

A Clever Puzzle, but More Challenging Than I Expected

I really liked the concept of this book. It's different from a traditional mystery because you're actively solving the case yourself, and I enjoyed working through the clues and eliminating suspects.

Looking forward to untwisting this twist

Got this for an upcoming family gathering in the fall, we all love a good detective story, and murder mystery games are always a hit. Already looked through it and love the setup - the masquerade, thousands of suspects, 20 clues and one deliberate lie, I am sure everyone will have fun solving this! It'll probably be one long evening arguing over who killed this Lady Aurelia.
