The Prince’s Will

First enjoy the crime, then solve a series of increasingly complex puzzles!

The Prince’s Will is “a whodunit with puzzles” organised on three levels of reading (plus a bonus one). The first level is represented by a classic crime, complete with murder, investigation and solution at the end. But the book doesn’t stop there: the author, in his final notes, invites the reader to find the answers to two questions left unresolved by the text. The first is found by solving a series of seven puzzles scattered and hidden among the pages of the book. The second requires a reinterpretation of the illustrations. For both paths, the reader is provided with a series of suggestions at the end of the book. In reality, there’s also another hidden secret hidden between the pages: an “easter egg” puzzle that only the most attentive will discover.

• The book is, in its basic reading, a whodunit that can be appreciated even by those who don’t like puzzles.

• The setting and, above all, the time the story is set in, recall the classic crimes of Agatha Christie.
