Dead Men Do Tell Tales
A murder-filled crossword puzzle
without the squares.
Do the “Barroom Crawl,” in which a man walks into a bar—and doesn't walk out. Take a shot at “Billiard Blues” to discover murder right on cue, and “Hang On” to find a telemarketer permanently disconnected. These witty whodunits will challenge your knowledge of trivia with mysteries involving literature, art, music, history, baseball, and other pop-culture subjects. The collection features hints and solutions, along with suggestions for further reading. They’re fun. They’re educational. They have dead bodies in them. Enjoy!
