Bought this after a late night where I kept picking it up "just for five minutes" and suddenly it was 1am. Didn't tell my husband how far behind on sleep I was getting — just kept going back to it. What got me wasn't the puzzle itself, it was the method. I'd been randomly crossing names out for days and going nowhere. Once I picked one clue and worked it through the entire book, something clicked. I'm still not finished — nobody seems to be — but I haven't wanted to put it down once. If you're on the fence about buying it, stop. Just get it.

I told myself just one clue before bed
I picked this up on a whim and genuinely did not expect to still be thinking about it three weeks later. I do one clue at a time, whole book, before I go to sleep. My husband thinks I've lost it. I think I'm close.
Finally something that isn't a screen
I'd been doom-scrolling every night for months. A friend sent me a video of someone working through this and I ordered it that same day. It's the first thing in a long time that's made me actually sit still.
I've crossed out thousands of names and I'm not even close
That sounds like a complaint. It's not. I have no idea how anyone finishes this but I cannot stop trying. My highlighter collection has genuinely expanded because of this book.
My book club picked this and none of us have finished
We thought we'd solve it together in a few sessions. Four months later we're still comparing notes and arguing about clues. Best purchase the group has ever made.
I bought two — one to solve, one to keep clean
I got so deep into marking up my first copy that I panicked I'd made an error somewhere and needed a fresh start. Worth every penny. Still haven't found the killer.
My teenage daughter and I do this together now
She's obsessed with true crime and I wanted something we could actually do together that wasn't watching TV. This is it. We each work a clue and compare at the end of the week.
I've recommended this to everyone I know
Puzzle people, true crime people, people who just need to put their phone down — it works for all of them. Nobody I've given it to has finished it. Everyone is still trying.
Brought it on holiday thinking I'd finish it by the pool
I did not finish it by the pool. I did not finish it on the flight home. I am still working on it. This is not a complaint. This is a warning and also a recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
A pen works fine. Most solvers prefer highlighters because different colors help track different clues at a glance — but there's no requirement. Your tools, your rules.
Yes. The 18 clues are designed so that only one name survives every elimination. If you follow them accurately, there's only one killer.
Absolutely. Some people split the clues, some work the same pages side by side. It's surprisingly good as a shared activity — just agree on a system before you start.
That's the risk. There's no undo button. Most solvers are extra careful for exactly this reason — one wrong cross-out and you might eliminate the killer without knowing it.
It's one of the better gifts for a puzzle lover or true crime fan — physical, replayable as a conversation piece, and genuinely different from anything else on the market. Ships ready to give.
