The Vess Files: 100 Halloween Night Murder Mystery Cases

Every puzzle in this book is a murder on Halloween night.The Vess Files collects 100 original whodunit word search cases, all set on theone night a killer needn't hide his face. Each is built around a single trick: theevidence isn't beside the puzzle, it's inside it. Solve the grid, and three piecesof evidence surface on their own.Here's how it works. Cross out every word from the case's list that you can findin the grid. One word will be missing - that's your first clue. Then look at theletters no word touched. Read them in order, and they spell out the rest: theculprit, the means, and the site. The letter boxes beneath each case tell youexactly how long each answer runs, so there's only one way the evidence fitstogether.The book builds from a gentle 8x8 grid in Case 1 to an 11x11 grid withbackward-running answers by Case 100, so it plays fair whether you're new to wordsearches or you've been doing them for decades. A fully worked example opens thebook, so nobody has to guess at the mechanic before the first case.Includes:- 100 original cases across 25 settings, from a costume ball to a corn maze- Four difficulty tiers, Beginner through Expert- Complete solutions for every case- A short scene from Sheriff Vess's desk opening each caseEvery case has been independently verified for a single, unambiguous solutionbefore publication.Find the words.
