The Killer Isn't Jack: A 3,000-Suspect Historical Murder Mystery Puzzle for Adults

3,000 suspects. One murder. One killer. And Jack isn't the answer. Lord Stephenson was a well-liked local-the kind of man around whom an entire town seemed to turn. Then, on the stroke of eleven, everything changed. The local constable discovers Lord Stephenson dead in the Nursery. The post-mortem confirms murder. Inspector Holloway has assembled everyone who could have committed the crime, and somewhere among 3,000 suspects is the one person responsible. Now the case is yours. The Killer Isn't Jack is a hard-difficulty murder mystery logic puzzle for adults built around one enormous investigation, thousands of suspects and a trail of carefully constructed evidence. Your mission: Study the evidence. Follow every clue. Eliminate the innocent. Identify the killer. The suspect register contains 3,000 possible killers, each connected to a weapon, room and motive. Every clue reveals something that must be true about the murderer. Some clues narrow the possible weapon. Others point toward particular rooms or motives. Still others force you to examine the suspect's name itself-letters, initials, vowels, alphabetical positions and relationships between entries. One clue at a time, the suspect pool becomes smaller. Until only one remains.
