Bought it for my sister who has seen every episode about a hundred times and owns all the DVDs. I fully expected her to already have it. She called me two days later to tell me a story about Bea Arthur. She has never once called me about a present before.

Inside the Book:
Four things waiting inside every case file.
Three Puzzles That Need Each Other
+
Read what was actually happening while a scene you know by heart was being shot. What got cut. What got argued over. Which line was improvised and which took eleven takes. Every episode, broken down by the writers, producers, crew and guest stars who were in there. You've watched the finished twenty-two minutes a hundred times — this is the part that never left the building.
Search. Place. Eliminate.
+
Find the words and you've got the evidence. Use the evidence to place everyone on the floor plan. Use the floor plan to cross names off the list. Three steps, in order, and the answer only appears at the end of all three.
Rookie To Cold Case
+
Three tiers that get harder as you go. The early ones teach you the method, the last ones will make you stop and think — and you'll be looking forward to them before you're finished with the easy ones.
A Map of the Scene
+
Reading rooms, rare-book wings, college corridors. Every case comes with a floor plan of who was where. Put the suspects in their places and watch the story take shape.

Joanne R. (Portland, OR),

I'll be honest, it doesn't cover every single episode and one of my favourites isn't in there, which stung. And there's no contents page so you're hunting a bit. But I've had it three weeks and I'm still picking it up. Just know it's the kind of book you browse rather than look things up in.

What got me is that these are their actual words. Not somebody writing about them thirty years later — the writers, the crew, the guest stars, all saying what was really going on. Bea in particular. I've read a lot of things about her over the years and none of it felt like this.
Denise M. (Toledo, OH),
Verified Buyer
I've had this show on nearly every night since 1985 and when my daughter sent me the link I honestly thought, what could this possibly tell me. It got here Tuesday. By Thursday I'd read the chapter on the house and I finally understand why that kitchen never made sense to me. I've been reading a bit and then putting that episode on straight after and it's the closest I'll get to watching them for the first time again.

Ruth A. (Scranton, PA),

I was expecting a photo book. It is not that. It's proper and it's heavy and the cover has this soft feel to it I can't describe, and every single person who's been in my house has picked it up off the table. My husband doesn't even watch the show and he read half of it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our products, shipping, returns, and more.
Isn't this just a word search book with a murder theme?
+
No — the word search is only the first of three puzzles in every case. The words you find become your evidence, the floor plan shows who was where, and the suspect list is where you work out who did it. It's a word search that ends with a name.
I've never done logic puzzles. Will I get lost?
+
Not if you start at case one. The early cases are gentle on purpose — they show you how the three puzzles fit together before anything gets difficult. And the free Detective's Handbook walks you through the techniques, so you're never left staring at a page.
I've done plenty of puzzle books. Will this be too easy?
+
The first tier will be. Skip straight to the third, where the cases make you slow down and think. If you're an expert who wants brutal logic grids, though, this isn't that book — it's built to be enjoyed, not endured.
Will it arrive in good condition?
+
Every copy is checked and packed flat in a right-sized box, so it arrives without a bent cover or creased pages. If it doesn't, we replace it.
What if it isn't right?
+
if they read mysteries, do the crossword, or always try to guess the killer before the last chapter — yes. And if it turns out they already own a copy, we have a 30 return policy
How long is delivery?
+
11-15 days. Free shipping on every order.
