The Engine House: A Black Beacons Murder Mystery (DCI Evan Warlow Crime Thriller Book 1): A DCI Evan Warlow Crime Thriller

Product Information

But a great piece of social history  Inspired by the urban craze for escape rooms, where players tackle puzzles while trapped in a locked room, it is an escape room in the form of a locked book, filled with codes, ciphers, riddles and red herrings, and a clever Code Wheel set into the cover. Each day is a chance to meet a new forest friend, each night a chance to wish upon a star. This is a quiet tale of the bond between a boy and his father, that invites you to slow down and reflect with it. An ode to wonder and the wild, and a story of love and loss, but, above all, a celebration of gentleness, sensitivity, compassion and connection: to nature, to one another, and to our fellow creatures. Combines riddles, logic puzzles, timed challenges, mathematical brain-teasers, maps and mazes. Intrigued by an invitation from mathematician Charles Babbage to view his newly completed pioneering contraption, Holmes becomes imprisoned in a magnificent London villa, where tricks, traps and illusions aim to divert him from uncovering the true purpose of the reimagined Analytical Engine.
