One bookshop. One vanished author. One hundred puzzles per book — and a stranger's pencil in the margins, pointing at the case this town shelved forty years ago.

Just want the first case? Start with Murder in the Margins Vol. 1.

When Juliet Marston inherited Marston & Vine Books, she inherited the keys, the tea counter, and thirty-one boxes of books her great-aunt Violet never got around to shelving. She also inherited something nobody mentioned: penciled notes hiding in the margins, left by a hand that can't explain itself now — every one of them circling the same name. Eliza Cooke. The local author who vanished in 1984, mid-manuscript, and was never found.

MURDER IN THE MARGINS is a collectible cozy word-search series with a real mystery running underneath the fun. Every volume gives you 100 standalone murder-mystery word-search cases — four scenes to a case: find the evidence, find the suspects, and mind what turns up twice — with difficulty that climbs from Apprentice warm-ups to Master Sleuth by the final pages. Then a sealed finale puzzle hides one fragment of the truth Juliet is chasing. Solve all six books, and the whole story assembles in your hands.

For readers who love the cozy wit of Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club — but wish they could solve along. From the imprint behind Murder, She Searched.

Pour the tea. Sharpen the pencil. Mind the margins.

A note on shipping: Every book is printed in and shipped from your own country, whether you're in the US, Canada, Australia, or the UK. For almost every order that means no international shipping and no customs fees. What you see at checkout is truly all you'll pay. Postal rates in some countries (looking at you, Canada and Australia) do run higher than any of us would like, so if the shipping on your order feels steep, our Printable Editions are the same puzzles as an instant download in our large print size, with nothing to ship and nothing to wait for.

Canadian readers, one exception. Our Canadian printer cannot produce the Large Print paperbacks, so those orders ship from the UK by FedEx. They take longer to arrive, and customs charges may be collected at your door on delivery. If you would rather skip both, the Printable Editions are the same large print puzzles.
