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. * Then, guided by the narrative rather than a visual reference, complete the jigsaw puzzle. * The finished image provides all the clues you need to crack the case. The Story: Uncle Gregory McGough has died (could it have been murder?), and his will is locked away in a safe. The problem is, no one knows the code. Only the great 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. * PERFECT BLEND FOR MYSTERY AND PUZZLE FANS: For anyone who loves jigsaws and classic mystery stories, this is the ultimate gift. The narrative and illustrations pay homage to beloved creators like Agatha Christie and Edward Gorey. * COOL OBJECT: With an elegant box shaped like a book, this makes a special gift and an enviable coffee-table centerpiece. * NOSTALGIC APPEAL: This mystery puzzle revamps a popular jigsaw format from the 1990s, inviting puzzlers to rediscover a nostalgic pastime. * GORGEOUS ILLUSTRATION: The finished puzzle image is a sumptuous illustration full of rich color, hidden details, and lightly gothic humor. Perfect for: * Devoted puzzlers looking for a new challenge * Couples and small groups looking for a cozy activity at home * Party hosts or hostess-gift shoppers * Fans of cozy British mysteries-including Agatha Christie novels, Sherlock Holmes stories, and Masterpiece shows * Fans of Edward Gorey * Classic literature lovers * Illustration lovers
