50 Village Cases to Solve With Grid Logic — Easy to Fiendish, With Hints and Full Solutions
Solve the clues. Fill in the grid. Name the culprit.
Look inside

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.
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.
