Join Inspector Valise on an epic round-the-world adventure, solving 80 murders along the way. From Britain's hugely popular puzzle-writing duo Dr Gareth Moore and Laura Ayres, this books is full of brilliant brainteasers. Travel by plane, train and automobile as you take in the sights and examine evidence, tackling many of Inspector Valise's most famous international cases. Solve the puzzle in each location to bring together the pieces of every murderous case, working out whodunnit - and why. You'll find felons in the foothills of Mount Fuji, hunt for clues on the French Riviera, and catch a killer on the Trans-Siberian Express. There are logic challenges to tackle, cryptic codes to crack, and navigational conundrums that will challenge even the most experienced of explorers. Inspired by classic crime stories from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, Around the World in 80 Murders evokes a bygone era of adventure, mystery - and murder most intrepid. Perfect for readers who enjoy the classic mysteries of Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh and Dorothy L. Sayers, as well as anyone who loves solving puzzles.
