Welcome to the picture-perfect village of Merrydale, where the wreaths are impeccably tied, the mince pies are to die for and the locals are always ready with a cheery smile and a steamy glass of mulled wine. Or so it seems …

An immersive puzzle book with a cosy crime twist: you step into the shoes of the protagonist – but you have no idea how you got there, where you are or even who you are. To add to your discombobulation, a local celebrity by the name of Robin Coxworth is found dead, and foul play is suspected … But who can you trust? Can you even trust yourself?

With 25 days to solve the crime, each chapter unveils new clues to solve in the countdown to Christmas. Piece them together to reveal the truth beneath Merrydale’s yuletide glow – and your role within it. Your powers of observation, logical deduction, pattern recognition and lateral thinking will all be tested before the last carol is sung.

This cosy whodunnit is the perfect Christmas gift for the puzzler in your life who loves Richard Osman and Agatha Christie and the likes of Merry Murdle and Cluedle. Grab a cup of tea (or mulled wine) and delve into this festive brainteaser that is sure to keep you guessing up until Christmas Day.
