Tap a blank, then tap a letter. Every matching code letter fills at once.
How it works
A complete murder mystery and a puzzle book at once. You can’t finish one without the other.
Solve what the detective found
A cipher, a word search, a sudoku, a nonogram, a maze. The answer is the next clue.
Name the killer
A logic grid takes everything you found. Then check yourself against the sealed confession at the back.
Is it for you?
You’ll love it if you…
- read Agatha Christie or loved Knives Out
- do the crossword or sudoku with a pencil
- want something to solve together at the kitchen table
- are looking for a present for someone who always guesses the killer
Maybe skip it if you…
- want a long novel with no pencil work
- want only very hard puzzles from page one (it starts gentle)
- need an e-book: it’s print only

What readers say
When you crack the safe, you’re not taking a break from the story, you’re finding the next clue.
Wrong about the killer two times. Loved every minute.
She solved, I read aloud, and we argued about suspects in between.
Bought one, then bought two more as gifts.
Questions
How hard are the puzzles?
Each case starts gentle and climbs. Chapter one is a cipher with four letters given; chapter ten is a logic grid. The four cases get harder as the book goes on.
Do I need to be good at sudoku?
No. Every puzzle kind is explained the first time it appears, and the early ones are warm-ups.
Can two people play?
Yes. Many readers share it: one reads aloud, one solves, and you argue about suspects.
Are the answers included?
Yes. Every answer key and the sealed confession for each case are at the back of the book.
What exactly arrives?
A 116-page paperback, 7.44 × 9.68 in, black and white inside with a colour cover. Printed to order and posted with tracking. You see the delivery dates before you pay.
Iris Enigma
Iris Enigma has been guessing the killer before the final chapter since childhood, and has been wrong more often than she’d like to admit. She writes for readers who keep a pencil tucked behind one ear and who have, at least once, suspected the butler purely on principle. A Murder in Pieces is the book she always wanted to find on the shelf: a mystery you don’t just read, but solve.
Four houses. Four murders. Every piece a clue.
