Murderers Leave Clues

Murderers Leave Clues

A clever cozy mystery full of puzzles, murder, and long-buried secrets.

In the peaceful seaside town of Brackton-on-Sea, nothing much happens-until the murders begin.

Retired crossword editor Elsie Granger lives a quiet life solving puzzles, drinking tea, and enjoying her well-earned retirement. But when a member of the local theatre society turns up dead, Elsie spots what no one else sees: a hidden clue left at the crime scene. The killer is leaving behind riddles, codes, and references to classic puzzles-some of which point disturbingly close to Elsie's past.

Teaming up with her eccentric friend Ronny Bell, a semi-retired magician with a flair for misdirection, Elsie begins to follow a chilling trail of clues tied to an old puzzle column she once edited. As more bodies appear, each connected to a long-forgotten scandal from 1974, Elsie realises she's not just solving a murder-she's part of a dangerous game.

When the prime suspect is caught, it seems like the case is closed. But the killings don't stop.

Now, Elsie must unravel a second layer of deception, exposing decades-old secrets and a hidden mastermind who has been manipulating events from the shadows. The deeper she digs, the deadlier the game becomes.
