Welcome to Owlbrook, a quiet English village with a duck pond, a bell tower, and a tearoom that never runs out of scones. Nothing terrible ever happens here, but things do keep going missing: a prize Victoria sponge, a freshly mended bicycle, two hundred feet of village hall bunting. As Owlbrook's unofficial detective, you read each gentle mystery, work through the clues with a classic logic grid, and name the culprit.

What's inside

  • 50 original cozy cases, each on its own two-page spread: the story and clues on the left, a large logic grid and answer table on the right
  • Three levels that build steadily: 15 Constable (easy), 20 Sergeant (medium), and 15 Inspector (fiendish) cases
  • A friendly "How to Solve a Case" guide with a fully worked example
  • An illustrated map of the village and a cast of recurring villagers
  • A hint for every case, plus full solutions that name each culprit
  • Every case checked by computer to have exactly one solution, and every case can be solved by logic alone, with no guessing

Who it's for

Puzzle lovers and cozy-mystery fans who enjoy a satisfying bit of deduction. There are no murders and no violence, just thefts, pranks, mix-ups, and the occasional secret admirer. New to logic grids? Start with the worked example and the Constable cases. Seasoned solver? Head straight for the Inspector cases.

Printed on large 8.5 x 11 inch pages with roomy grids for pencil work.
