Murder in the Margins

Do not rearrange these circled letters. Read them from left to right, beginning with the top row and moving downward. They already spell the victim.

Why is this different?

Murder in the Margins uses the same broad case-solving idea but a different victim-reveal mechanic. The circled letters are placed in reading order rather than presented as an anagram.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the Victim Decoders reveal the answer?

Which cases are included?

Each volume decoder covers the 99 regular cases. The sealed final puzzle follows its own instructions inside the book.

Can I print the sheets?

Yes. They are formatted as standard US Letter PDFs and can also be viewed on a phone, tablet, or computer.
