The fifth book didn't come from the shop stock. It came from her aunt's own bedside.

Snow on the bow window, cloves and old paper on the air, shortbread on the tea counter every Thursday — Brambleford does Christmas beautifully. But the box Juliet has been avoiding all year is the small one from Violet's bedroom, and the Little Women inside falls open, from long habit, to the chapter where a manuscript burns. What's penciled beside it is the closest thing to a confession the margins have offered yet.

Volume 5 wraps the Alcott shelf in holiday warmth: 100 cozy murder-mystery word-search cases of attics and inkstands, skating ponds and parlor fires, letters saved and letters burned. Four scenes to a case, Apprentice to Master Sleuth, plus a sealed finale that brings the mystery closer to home than Juliet ever wanted it.

The perfect cozy gift: a season of puzzles, and a mystery with real heart underneath.

Settle in by the fire and find the words. Forgive me, or thank me…

A note on shipping: Every book is printed in and shipped from your own country, whether you're in the US, Canada, Australia, or the UK. For almost every order that means no international shipping and no customs fees. What you see at checkout is truly all you'll pay. Postal rates in some countries (looking at you, Canada and Australia) do run higher than any of us would like, so if the shipping on your order feels steep, our Printable Editions are the same puzzles as an instant download in our large print size, with nothing to ship and nothing to wait for.

Canadian readers, one exception. Our Canadian printer cannot produce the Large Print paperbacks, so those orders ship from the UK by FedEx. They take longer to arrive, and customs charges may be collected at your door on delivery. If you would rather skip both, the Printable Editions are the same large print puzzles.
