How it works

Start by choosing the kind of puzzle mystery you want.

Every PageTurn Puzzles series hides a case inside the word searches. The experience changes by format: some books are built for puzzle-first solvers, and some are built for cozy mystery readers who want the puzzles woven through the story.

Case Files

Case Files are grid-forward puzzle books. You get page after page of word searches, with light notes, letters, or case material threaded between them.

  • Best if you want puzzles first.
  • Built around hundreds of grids across a series.
  • The mystery pulls book to book as clues repeat, shift, and stack.
  • Current examples: Killer Letters and Murder, She Searched.

Puzzle Mysteries

Puzzle Mysteries are story-forward whodunits. You read the case like a novella, then solve a word search in each chapter to help reveal the culprit.

  • Best if you want story first.
  • One word search appears in every chapter.
  • The puzzle clues help you solve alongside the sleuth.
  • Coming next: Little Wickham Cozy Puzzle Mysteries.

Then pick the mood: noir or cozy.

Noir means gritty files, darker evidence, and a killer hiding in the grids. Cozy means villages, secrets, tea, gardens, and a culprit tucked into a warmer world. Same core promise, different atmosphere.
