Small puzzles. One bigger investigation.
Each evidence category gives you a list of possibilities and ten clues. Work out what each clue tells you, then cross out the entries that don’t fit until one answer remains.

MEET YOUR NEXT FAVOURITE PASTIME
You don’t just read the mystery. You solve it.
ELIMINATE combines a connected investigation with smaller elimination puzzles. Here’s how a page full of possibilities becomes a piece of the answer.
MORE THAN A BOOK TO READ
You’re not just turning pages.
You’re following leads, ruling things out and bringing a mystery into focus.
01
Follow the clues
Read carefully, interpret the evidence and work out what each clue tells you.
02
Cross out possibilities
Rule out the answers that don’t fit until each puzzle reveals a new piece of information.
03
Piece it all together
Bring your answers together to solve the case. Each volume has its own final reveal; Volume 2 adds a hidden cipher.
Take your time, follow your curiosity and enjoy the little victories.
Find your first caseA PUZZLE INSIDE A MYSTERY
From a list of possibilities to a solved case.
Every discovery has a purpose.
In Volumes 1 and 3, use what you discover to narrow the suspect pool. Volume 2 brings your answers together in a hidden cipher. The details change; the satisfaction of making a discovery stays.
Choose your kind of downtime.
Take one category at a time, or settle in for a longer session. The books combine careful reading, interpreting clues and plenty of crossing out. They are puzzle books to work through—not novels to read passively.
DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
A little taste of the obsession.
Read a clue. Cross something out. Feel that tiny “aha”. Try a miniature example before choosing your first case.
A tiny, spoiler-free illustration of elimination—not a page from the books or a difficulty sample.

BEFORE YOU SETTLE IN
A few helpful things.
Which ELIMINATE book should I start with?
For a first introduction, choose Volume 1: the original Marion Vale case. Volume 2 brings a wedding mystery and a hidden cipher; Volume 3 takes the investigation to Blackthorn Manor.
Am I buying a printed book or a digital PDF?
The ELIMINATE products sold through this website are digital PDFs. For a printed paperback, choose the Amazon option on your chosen book. Check the format and delivery details on the page before buying.
Is ELIMINATE a novel or a puzzle book?
It’s an interactive mystery puzzle book. The story sets up your investigation; you solve the clues and use what you discover to narrow down the suspects.
What do I do with the digital edition?
You receive a PDF rather than a physical book. You can print it at home; to work on it on a device, you’ll need an app that lets you mark up PDFs.
Already solving and need help?
