Tinker & Holly Toys

Tinker & Holly’s Christmas window had a wind-up sleigh that really moved. The man who built it was found dead before the shop opened.

New clue: Not in a room. A suspect who was not in a room could be anywhere else, as long as the square is open.

The victim: the window’s toy maker. Took the last square, alone with the murderer.

Biscuit’s hints

How to play
  1. One person per row and one per column, the victim included.
  2. People stand only on open squares (the map key shows which). Anything else blocks the square.
  3. Every clue is true.
  4. The victim took the last square: the row and column left over.
  5. Exactly one suspect was in the victim’s room, and that suspect did it.
