Before diving into each of the eight worksheets, this Logbook and the daily emails work together: the PDF gives you the structured pages to complete, while the emails guide you step‑by‑step through how to use each one and apply the detective skill of the day.
A complete 8‑page investigation toolkit that guides you through all 7 days of the challenge. Each page is designed to match a specific detective skill you’ll practice during the email sequence.
Inside the Logbook, you’ll work through:

Page 3: Suspect Board – Record motives, alibis, and suspicion levels (Day 3)

Page 6: Theory Builder – Part 2 – Expand and refine your deductions (Day 5)
Page 7: Twist Tracker – Predict twists, reveals, or reversals (Day 6)
Page 8: Case Closed – Compare your theory to the book’s ending and score your sleuthing skills (Day 7)
This Logbook becomes your personal investigation file as you work your way through any mystery or thriller—turning your reading experience into an interactive case you actually solve.
To help you get the most out of the Logbook, each email expands on the detective skill of the day and shows you exactly how to use the worksheet in real time.
