For fans of Murdle Junior, Animal Detectives, Cluedle or Werelock and Scratch
A spooky-funny, puzzle-packed mystery where a fearless girl detective and her talking crow race to stop a deadly village curse… that might not be a curse at all
In the gloomy village of Malasombras, the statue of its founder is found beheaded. An old prophecy warns that one day ‘its body will turn red’, and monsters from the forest will devour the town. While the mayor panics and the sheriff rushes to blame the usual suspects, Blanca –a sharp young detective who doesn’t believe in curses– and Darky –her melodramatic talking crow– start their own investigation. With mind‑reading puzzles, scrambled memories and hidden visual clues, the reader will help them uncover the truth: there is no curse, only a scheme to scare the town, demolish the statue and build a shopping mall.
