The Killer Isn't Alice is an interactive murder-mystery puzzle book built around a logic-deduction challenge. You get 18 clues and a list of 46,600 names, and you cross out suspects until one name fits every clue. It is a puzzle to work through with a pen rather than a novel to read, so it suits people who like logic grids, cross-referencing and slow elimination more than fast-paced crime fiction. This revised edition adds updated graphics, a new culprit and a bonus puzzle, which gives returning solvers a reason to work it again.

Solvers describe it as an addictive logic challenge that rewards methodical elimination, though some find the long name list tedious and the story thin.
The Killer Isn't Alice is an interactive murder mystery puzzle book. Alice Starling is missing, and police find a dead body, a cryptic note and a folder of names in her apartment. Alice says she is innocent and needs your help.
