Before You Turn the Page

A playful collection of murder mysteries, classic whodunits, and solve-it-yourself puzzles from Barbara Fox, creator of Mystery On The Menu Theater Company.

In Before You Turn the Page, Barbara Fox serves up two kinds of mystery entertainment: four complete murder mystery short stories and twenty-two interactive short mysteries that invite readers to solve the case before turning the page.

Each interactive mystery presents a cast of suspects, a suspicious set of circumstances, and the clues needed to uncover the truth. Read carefully, follow the trail, and see whether you can identify the culprit before the solution is revealed.

The four longer stories offer the pleasures of classic mystery fiction: motives, secrets, misdirection, and the satisfying final twist. Together, the collection creates a lively mix of traditional storytelling and reader-participation mystery.

Lighthearted, clever, and puzzle-driven, Before You Turn the Page is perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, classic whodunits, amateur sleuth stories, and anyone who enjoys matching wits with the author.
