A Cross-Out-the-Suspects Puzzle Book · Bonkers Bartrum
Eleven kilos of candyfloss have vanished in four minutes. The bouncy castle is now a sad rubber puddle. Somebody has set every dodgem to reverse, and Barnaby the clown set off with a perfectly good red nose and came back with a blue one.
Every case has thirty suspects. Each wears a wristband numbered 1 to 30, and each one went on a ride. Read a clue, cross out everybody it does not fit, then do the next one. Some clues are about tokens, so keep the Ticket Booth page handy. When only one suspect is left, you have your culprit. Careful though: some innocent kids survive nearly to the end.
