The Literary Detectives' Murder Club Jigsaw Puzzle

Everyone here knows how to get away with murder.

Twenty crime writers have gathered at Murderly Manor. One literary critic has been found dead in the study, his whisky poisoned. Given how many novels he’s savaged, the suspect list is not getting any shorter. The Literary Detectives’ Murder Club jigsaw puzzle puts you alongside Inspector Jigsaw to piece together a gathering where everyone has the means, the motive and a suspiciously useful professional background.

Enjoy the illustrated scene as a traditional jigsaw, or follow the clues on the fold-out poster and take on the bonus murder mystery. The suspects are fictionalised versions of crime-writing greats, from Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and Ngaio Marsh to Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and Chester Himes, alongside Richard Osman, Jo Nesbø and Asako Yuzuki. Record your deductions before opening the answer envelope. No peeking. You’ve read enough mysteries to know better.
