Jigsaw meets whodunit! Complete the jigsaw puzzle to reveal the
clues and solve the murder mystery. This absorbing mystery puzzle
offers hours of entertainment and an excellent challenge for the
little gray cells. * Begin by reading the story of the incident. *

detective Medea Thorne can deduce the combination and reveal the
contents of the will. But every sleuth needs a sidekick: That's
where you come in. Prepare yourself for a caper full of wit,
elegance, and a touch of the macabre. * DISTINCTIVE TWIST ON THE
JIGSAW: In this mystery puzzle, the full puzzle image is a secret
until you complete the jigsaw, because it contains the crucial
clues you need to unravel the mystery. Double the puzzles to solve
= double the fun, especially for parties and cozy nights in. *

Agatha Christie and Edward Gorey. * COOL OBJECT: With an elegant

color, hidden details, and lightly gothic humor. Perfect for: *

A CUNNING CHRONICLE OF THE 50 CODES THAT ALTERED THE COURSE OF
HISTORY AND CHANGED THE WORLD From the bestselling author of
Bletchley Park Brainteasers and The Scotland Yard Puzzle Book.
There have been secret codes since before the Old Testament, and
there were secret codes in the Old Testament too. Almost as soon as
writing was invented, so too were the devious means to hide
messages and keep them under the wraps of secrecy. In 50 Codes that
Changed the World, Sinclair McKay explores these uncrackable codes,
secret cyphers and hidden messages from across time to tell a new
history of a secret world. From the temples of Ancient Greece to
the court of Elizabeth I; from antique manuscripts whose codes
might hold prophecies of doom to the modern realm of quantum
mechanics, you will see how a few concealed words could help to win
wars, spark revolutions and even change the faces of great nations.
Here is the complete guide to the hidden world of codebreaking,
with opportunities for you to see if you could have cracked some of
the trickiest puzzles and lip-chewing codes ever created.
----------------------- Praise for Sinclair McKay's books: 'This
book [The Secret Life of Bletchley Park] seems a remarkably
faithful account of what we did, why it mattered, and how it all
felt at the time by someone who couldn't possibly have been born
then. - THE GUARDIAN [Bletchley Park Brainteasers] is outrageously
difficult but utterly fascinating. - THE EXPRESS 'Sinclair McKay's
account of this secret war of the airwaves in [Secret Listeners] is
as painstakingly researched and fascinating as his bestselling The
Secret Life Of Bletchley Park, and an essential companion to it.' -
