Trade the little paper doors for a whodunit. This book holds 2 mysteries, 24 days each: Silent Night at Hollybrook, set at a snowed-in village inn, and Last Train to Edelweiss, set on a stranded sleeper train. Each December day brings one short puzzle, and its answer tells you who to strike from a register holding about 500 names. By December 24 only one is still standing. Save the second story for next December, or form two teams and see who gets there first.

A mystery with a countdown

A holiday murder mystery book gives a whodunit a deadline. You are the detective, the story is spread over the days leading up to the holiday, and each sitting brings you a little closer to naming the guilty person.

Christmas comes first on this shelf. 24 Days to Catch a Killer gives you a short puzzle for every date from December 1 to 24, and each answer narrows a long register of names.
