Message In The Mural Puzzle Book

Secrets are painted in plain sight. Can you crack the code?

When Cami Banks gets drafted onto a Lawrenceville arts panel, she expects politics, egos, and fifty thousand dollars worth of drama. What she doesn't expect is a mural submission with no cover letter, no artist name — just a small red heart drawn in ballpoint pen on the folder tab. And something in the lower third of the painting that doesn't quite add up.

Neither does the man found at the reception in his good jacket, with something he never got to say.

Now the Gwinnett Chapter is on the case. Five women. One hidden mural. A murder hiding in plain sight.

Read the mystery. Solve the puzzles. Uncover the truth.

The Message in the Mural is an immersive puzzle mystery that puts YOU inside the investigation. Each chapter retells the story — then challenges you to solve a puzzle built from it. Every word in every puzzle comes directly from the chapter you just read. Pay attention. The clues are in the details.

Inside this book:

• 15 chapters of the gripping cozy mystery, condensed and puzzle-ready
• 15+ puzzle types — word searches, Caesar ciphers, anagrams, mini crosswords, logic grids, and cryptograms
• The CORAZON Cipher — five special ★ puzzles hidden throughout the book. Collect one letter from each. Arrange them to spell a 7-letter word that unlocks the final mystery
• Ghost words — one word in each word search appears in the list but not in the grid. They're clues. Record them carefully
• Character spotlights for all five members of the Gwinnett Chapter — with their own dedicated puzzles
• 20+ bonus puzzles diving deeper into the case, the community, and the suspects
• A complete answer key — including the final CORAZON reveal

Meet the Gwinnett Chapter: Cami. May Lin. Lulu. Charlotte. Brooke. Five women who read books, feed their community, decode steganography at 11 p.m., post in forums under their real names, and take notes on napkins at Starbucks. They are, collectively, more dangerous than anyone in Gwinnett County has yet understood.

Perfect for:

• Fans of cozy mysteries who want to be in the story
• Puzzle lovers who want more than a word list — they want a plot
• Book clubs looking for a read-and-solve experience
• Anyone who loves Gwinnett County, Georgia — and everyone who's about to
• Gift givers who want something genuinely original

The Gwinnett Chapter will return. May Lin has already found something. She says it's probably nothing. She has never once said something was probably nothing and been right.

Read. Rise. Reign.
