About the Book…

Welcome to the quiet English village of Candlestow, where the festive season is in full swing. The residents are busy preparing for Christmas when a local resident – Mr. Holly – is found dead. Team up with the local detective, DCI Twelvetrees, as you try to crack the curious case.

The plot twist? On 1st December, a clue arrives at the police station and reveals a dark secret from one of the village’s inhabitants. Someone is taking revenge on the village, and everyone is a potential target. And so it goes, every day, a new clue arrives, and a new dark secret is revealed.

Can you solve the case of the mysterious advent-calendar conundrums, and solve the 25 puzzles? And can you solve the biggest puzzle of all: who killed Mr. Holly?
