Please Use Block Capitals

Constable Wren has never chaired a meeting, but now he has a public review to run and the Bakery’s butter stamp for a gavel. A bridge engineer was found at the foot of the old footbridge steps with a note in block capitals in his coat, and its writer sent in one of 5,000 village response forms. Cross them off until one is left.

  • One cozy murder, with four small cases first to learn the method
  • All 5,000 forms in the book, and hints in three steps for every clue
  • No downloads and nothing to scan. It all happens on paper.
