24 Cases. 24 Culprits. One Killer.
 
Everyone at the Bellechasse is wearing a mask.
Carnival season has arrived in the French Quarter, and the old house on Rue Bellechasse has filled with guests for the weeks before Mardi Gras.
Feathers and lace. Beads and doubloons. And not one face you can be certain of.
An invitation arrives that was never sent from the house. A rope of beads is cut on the staircase. A candle burns down in a cellar that was locked at ten.
Small things.
Nobody wants to spoil Carnival over small things.
Welcome to Murder at the Masquerade, a murder mystery puzzle book for adults where every case is solved through logic, deduction and careful elimination.
Across Carnival season, investigate 23 increasingly challenging mysteries and crimes, each with a different culprit.
Then comes Mardi Gras night.
Five hundred guests fill the Krewe ball. Every one of them is masked. The orchestra is playing. The parades continue somewhere beyond the old house.
Before the last dance, one of them is a murderer.
And you never saw a single face.
Inside:
• 23 Carnival mysteries and crimes — and then the murder
• A different culprit in every case
• 6,000+ suspects across the season
• Increasingly challenging logic and deduction
• A final masked murder involving 500 suspects
• Fully worked solutions showing exactly how every clue fits
• Pure deduction — no guessing
• Designed specifically for adults — no children's puzzles or filler
Perfect for fans of murder mysteries, whodunits, masquerade mysteries, detective fiction, logic puzzles and brain teasers.
Solve one case at a time through Carnival — or lose an entire evening to the Bellechasse.
The orchestra is playing. The masks are still on. One of five hundred did it.
