Whereabouts?

Place every suspect on the floor plan. Whoever is left with the victim did it.

Forty cosy village murder mysteries solved by pure logic. Each case is a floor plan - a cottage, a tea room, the harbour, the manor on Boxing Day - divided into areas and furnished with real things: armchairs, tables, deckchairs, trees. One person stood in each row and each column. The cards tell you where: beside a lamp, alone with Clive, north of Dorothy, the only person on a rug. Place everyone, and the one person left in the victim's area is the murderer.

What is inside

• Forty cases, from 6 × 6 cottages to 9 × 9 hotels and fairs, graded from gentle to fiendish
• A glossary that gives every clue word one exact meaning, so no case is vague
• Every floor plan drawn with black-and-white silhouettes, clear at any size
• Full solutions at the back: the solved plan, the murderer, and the order to place people in

Why this one

• Exactly one answer to every case, proved by machine, and no guessing needed
• Difficulty measured, not guessed - each case is graded by the reasoning it takes
• No clue is padding - anything the solution did not need has been removed
• Sudoku-style placement plus a whodunit, in a village you will want to go back to
