Who Killed Charles Dickens?

A MURDER MYSTERY PUZZLE BOOK WITH A CLASSIC, LITERARY TWIST

Ten great authors, a library of clues, one shocking murder.


Welcome to Canon Hall, a sprawling stately home and legendary writers' retreat, where your favourite classic writers have gathered for an unforgettable weekend. You'll meet Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde, Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, Franz Kafka, Emily Brontë, Emily Dickinson, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Mark Twain. But where the Dickens is Charles Dickens?

As cocktails are served in the candlelit library, the evening takes a deadly turn: Dickens has vanished – and all signs point to murder. With every guest a suspect, it's up to you to piece together the evidence, unravel alibis and expose the killer.

Packed with literary references, wit and mystery, Who Killed Charles Dickens? imagines every literature lover’s dream dinner party, where each celebrated author has a secret – and one of them hides a murderous appetite. Perfect for fans of classic literature and puzzlers alike.
