In the last moments of life, a single word can be the difference between justice and obscurity. It can also set the stage for an amazing story.

The last word has been a common element of mysteries going back to the emergence of the genre. In Hercule Poirot’s first case, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Mrs. Emily Cavendish Inglethorpe’s last word was “Alfred.” But was her husband’s name said for comfort or as an accusation? In Nayland Smith’s first engagement on British soil with The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu, Sir Creighton Davey’s last words were “the red hand.” Was there meaning to the puzzling phrase or was it a symptom of a dying mind? Then, of course, is the greatest last word ever, Citizen Kane and “Rosebud.”

For your puzzle solving pleasure, Mysteries to Die For presents: A Word Before Dying.

Nuts. Hiawatha. In Vino Veritas. El Melena. Bad Luck. Sue Her. Best Friend. Ghost. Shadow.

Nine enigmatic phrases. Nine stories arranged for you to deduce the truth before the detective takes center stage.

Vehicles define eras and are a means for advancing economies from traditional to high mass-consumption. They can also play diverse roles within amazing stories.

A train was the setting for Agatha Christie’s famed Murder on the Orient Express. A river boat then took center stage on Death on the Nile. Stephan King’s Christine showed us a blood thirsty side, while in real life, the disappearance of Emelia Earhart and her plane continues to tease imaginations. Cars have been prominently featured in American crime stories with the glory of the getaway vehicle. Then there are the heists from carriages to trains to armored trucks.

For your puzzle solving pleasure, Mysteries to Die For presents: Move It or Lose It.

A charter fishing boat. An ambulance. A high-tech roadster. A flat-bed tow truck. A converted bus. A cold-war era VW. A locomotive. A prized horse. An airport shuttle. A Winnebago. A horse-drawn carriage. A roller coast train.

Twelve different ways to move it. Twelve stories arranged for you to deduce the truth. It’s a race between you and the detective. Will you catch the culprit or be the one to lose it? 😉 (You knew it was coming.)
