Use the clues to put the four books in the right order on the shelf, left to right. Check as often as you like.

Fliss is arranging the new crime arrivals on the front table. Four books, one shelf, and she knows exactly how she wants them.

  • The Vicarage Poisoner
  • Death at Dovecote Hall
  • The Ninth Alibi
  • Murder by Moonlight

Clues

  1. “The Ninth Alibi” is in the first spot from the left.
  2. “Death at Dovecote Hall” sits immediately to the left of “The Vicarage Poisoner”.
  3. “The Ninth Alibi” and “Murder by Moonlight” are not next to each other.

Your shelf

Choose a book for each spot. Picking a book that’s already shelved swaps the two.
