The Mystery Puzzle series is an experiment in interactive mystery fiction. Published in 2017, the series presents a murder and breaks the investigation into separate short books, each focused on a different question: How, Where, Why, Who, When, and the Answer Book. Readers can tackle the clue books in any order before checking their solution.
The format is a departure from Konrath’s usual thriller approach, turning the reader into an active detective. The Stop a Murder framing ties the individual installments together into a single puzzle-solving experience.
