What is a holiday murder mystery book?

A holiday murder mystery book is a whodunit built around a date on the calendar. Instead of reading about a detective, you do the detective work yourself, a little at a time, as the day gets closer.

Our holiday shelf starts with Christmas. 24 Days to Catch a Killer works like an advent calendar: one puzzle a day, one clue a day and fewer names on the list each morning, until one name is left on December 24.

Would you rather print at home?

Our printable puzzle books are instant PDF downloads, and our guide to advent calendar puzzles for adults has more ideas for December.
