Criminal Finds

After years of saying they didn’t do it, someone has walked out of prison. Their case was reopened, and the evidence that convicted them turned out to have been logged wrong from the start.

Now the station behind that case is under inquiry. Every murder it closed in the last twenty years is being reviewed, and one hundred of those files have landed on your desk. The suspects, weapons, locations, motives, witnesses, alibis and evidence are all there. Whether the right people went away is another matter.

This is a word search where the words solve the case:

• 100 murder cases, each on its own two-page spread: the case file on the left, a full-page grid on the right
• 46 words per case, in seven groups: suspects, weapons, locations, motives, witnesses, alibis and evidence
• The word you find twice is the answer: killer, weapon, location, motive and witness, all hiding in plain sight
• One alibi on every list is a lie: it belongs to the killer, and it isn’t in the grid at all
• One group in every case comes scrambled, and has to be unscrambled before it can be found
• A hidden victim crossing the murder weapon, and a key piece of evidence crossing the killer
• Circled letters in every grid spell out where the weapon was dumped, once every word is found
• A hidden message found across all 100 cases, letter by letter, that can only be solved once the last case is closed
• Difficulty 4 of 4: full-page grids, nine answers to every case, and words running in every direction
• Full solutions included at the back of the book

For anyone who likes a murder mystery they solve themselves, one careful case at a time. For word search solvers who want the words to mean something once they’re found. If you’ve closed the earlier books, this is the deepest file yet. If you haven’t, no matter: every book stands alone, and this one opens with an illustrated walkthrough.

The files are on your desk. A hundred cases, closed years ago. At least one of them sent the wrong person to prison. Find out how many more did.
