A very clear and gentle introduction to logic grid puzzles. [...] All the puzzles share a theme, with some clues calling back to information from previous puzzles, and a final puzzle tying together the solutions from many others.
While it’s challenging, it’s not too hard that you get frustrated.
The murder mystery word searches were really fun. I liked the clues and the different levels.

What is The Christmas Manor Murders?
The Christmas Manor Murders is a complete holiday murder mystery set in a snowbound country house: 24 doors, 24 puzzles and a hidden sentence that unmasks the culprit by Christmas Eve.
It's an optional add-on in PDF, delivered with your books. You can remove it in your cart before you pay.
Stop Watching Detectives. Become One.
In a normal mystery you follow the detective. In MURDLOCK you are the detective: you get the case file, the suspects and the clues, and the verdict is yours to prove.
No lucky guesses and no hidden information. Every case is fair play: read the evidence, rule out what cannot be true, and watch hundreds of suspects become dozens, then a few, then one.
Three books, three ways to hunt a killer: a town register of 6,000 names, logic grids that map who was where, and word searches that hide the culprit between the letters.
Three books. 162 cases. Every one solvable with a pencil.

Your Answers Are Clues Too.
Most puzzle books are a pile of separate puzzles. MURDLOCK is built like a case that keeps going.
In The Vesperford Register, the twelfth case begins with the eleven names you have already found, because someone has been watching Vesperford all along. In the Logic Grid book, the 50 cases end with a final mystery that only your own answers can unlock.
So every case you solve counts twice: once for the verdict, and once for the finale.
Solve them all, then find out what they were leading to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a physical book?
No. The MURDLOCK Detective Bundle is a digital product: three books as PDF files, delivered instantly. Nothing is shipped. The photos show the books in print to give you an idea of what you can print at home.
How do I get my books?
Right after payment, your books open on the confirmation page, ready to read or download. We also email you a link, so you can come back to them any time.
Can I print them?
Yes, that's how most readers enjoy them. The Logic Grid and Word Search books are US Letter size (8.5 × 11 in), made for any home printer; The Vesperford Register is 6 × 9 in and prints on standard paper. Tip: print only the cases you're about to solve.
Which devices can I use?
Any device that opens a PDF: phone, tablet, computer or e-reader. A tablet with a stylus works well for marking the grids.
How long does a case take?
It depends on the level and on your pace. The first cases in each book take a short while; the expert ones can keep you thinking a lot longer. With 162 cases across three books, the bundle lasts for weeks.
How do I know if I solved a case?
Every book has its solutions at the back: step by step in the Logic Grid book, explained in the Word Search book, and hints, checkpoints and solutions in The Vesperford Register.
Can I print a case more than once?
Yes. The files are yours to keep: print a fresh copy whenever you want to start over, or one for every player at the table. For personal use only.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. Print a set and wrap it, or buy it with the recipient's email address so the books arrive straight in their inbox.
Is it suitable for kids?
We recommend it for ages 12 and up, for the mystery theme and the difficulty. Readers tell us younger grandkids enjoy the word searches alongside an adult.
Do I need to be good at logic puzzles?
Not at all. Each book starts with easy cases that teach you the method, then the difficulty grows with you. Every case comes with its solution, explained step by step.
What is the finale everyone mentions?
The Vesperford Register ends with a twelfth case built from the eleven before it, and the Logic Grid book ends with a final mystery unlocked by your answers. Solving the cases is not quite the end.
Can we solve them together?
Yes. MURDLOCK works solo, as a couple or around the family table. Print a case for each player, or one to share.
What if I have a problem with my files?
Write to info@murdlock.com. A real person answers, and we'll make sure you can open and print your books.
