The Celebrity Chef Killer: A Dark Etchings Mystery

By Indy Rich

Thousands of suspects. Fourteen clues. One killer.

The private dining room was meant for something special.

Crystal glasses. Roses. A glittering city beyond the windows. Two chairs pulled close beneath the chandelier-the kind of table set for a celebration, or perhaps an apology.

But when the sommelier arrives to clear the final bottle, she finds an overturned wine glass and a dark stain spreading slowly across the linen.

By morning, everyone on the guest list will have an alibi ready.

Only one of them will be lying.

The Celebrity Chef 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, signature dessert, hotel, and restaurant. Apply fourteen clues involving names, letters, vowels, desserts, hotels, and restaurants to eliminate suspects one by one.

Every detail matters. Every clue clears another suspect. Keep eliminating until only one person survives all fourteen rules.

The richly detailed black-and-white artwork takes you into a shadowy world of private dining rooms, restaurant kitchens, silver cloches, knives, chandeliers, wine glasses, and the secrets hiding behind five-star hospitality.

And those dark pages aren't just for atmosphere-try solving with a metallic or bright gel pen and watch the investigation emerge across the black pages as you cross suspects off. There's even a color-test page at the front so you can test your pens and check for bleed-through before beginning.

Think you've found the killer?

The solution is ciphered at the back, so an accidental glance won't spoil the ending.

Grab a pen. Follow the clues. Find the killer hiding behind the reservation.
