I love love love love love this idea. Once you think you know who the killer is, there is a website you submit to and they will let you know if you are correct or incorrect. It took me about 5 days from doing it in the evening and I got it on my first try. But ugh, I hope she does more because this was wonderful.

This book drives you crazy in the best way possible. It's a little daunting at first but it gets super fun once you narrow some of the pages down. You'll think you know what you're doing but then another clue completely changes the way you have to think. I've started looking at names in real life places and accidentally applying the clues to those words. There's also a great community on tiktok that is extremely helpful if you're feeling a little bit stuck. All in all it's a fantastic puzzle and I really hope she makes more.

I love this idea and im enjoying figuring out the puzzle.

I would have loved it even more if all the names had been different, I've seen duplicates ive also already spotted my name twice and im only up to chapter 2.

If you enjoy huge Puzzles you will enjoy this too. It is not very rewarding in the beginning and given that you get absolutely no back story it couldn’t hold my attention.
