The Antique Show Killer: A Dark Etchings Mystery
Thousands of suspects. Eleven clues. One killer.
The final lot has been sold. The velvet ropes are coming down. The dealers at a sprawling international antique fair are preparing to move on.
But one of them won't be leaving.
After the last auction closes, a room on the third floor is found disturbed-a drawer forced, a chair overturned, and a dealer who will never answer the door again.
Everyone had a reason to want a rival gone. Everyone has an alibi that almost holds.
Now it's your turn to find the killer.
The Antique Show Killer is an illustrated elimination mystery that puts you in the detective's chair. Work through 37 chapters packed with suspects, each identified by a full name, city, hotel, and day of the week. Apply eleven deceptively simple clues involving letters, vowels, names, hotels, and days to eliminate suspects one by one.
Every letter matters. Every detail can clear a suspect. Keep eliminating until only one person survives all eleven clues.
Along the way, richly detailed black-and-white illustrations immerse you in a shadowy world of antiques, auction rooms, old hotels, porcelain, clocks, paintings, jewelry, and objects with histories of their own.
Think you've solved it?
The answer is hidden at the back behind a cipher, so an accidental glance won't give the killer away.
Grab a pen. Study the clues. Eliminate the innocent. Find the killer.
