🔍 PRINTABLE BOOKSHOP MURDER MYSTERY PUZZLE

16 Clues • 5,250 Customer Records • One Killer

A bookseller is dead. A page has been torn from the customer ledger. Somewhere among 5,250 suspicious purchases, one record is hiding the truth.

At Bellwether Books, owner Evelyn March discovered that someone had been using book-purchase records to create false alibis for a far more serious crime.

Before she could contact the police, the lights went out.

When they returned, Evelyn was dead—and the Rare Books Room was locked.

Now the police have thousands of customer records, sixteen clues and no one patient enough to examine every suspicious detail.

That is where you come in.

Study the names, bookshops, book titles, purchase days and exact purchase times. Apply each clue carefully, eliminate the innocent customers and continue until only one record survives.

Will you uncover the killer hiding between the lines?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔍 HOW THE PUZZLE WORKS

2. Apply the sixteen clues in order.

4. Continue narrowing the list until one customer remains.

There are no suspicious-name shortcuts and no lucky guesses—the solution is found by following the evidence carefully.
