Murder in the Stacks Online Mystery Event

Murder in the Stacks Online Event

Adelaide T. Booker

Mrs. Booker Picture

A Note from Mrs. Booker!

All recipes featured in this mystery event are real and edible! Feel free to print each recipe to try. 

All clues, correct or incorrect feature interesting factoids about all sorts of things. Feel free to click on each photo after you play to read some fun facts. 
Adelaide T. Booker has been found dead in the cook book aisle-all while looking for the perfect pumpkin spice cake recipe!  

It appears that while browsing the stacks, she was hit on the head with a fairly heavy Julia Child’s cookbook.  Mrs. Booker died immediately from this supposedly intentional whopping and was found by a staff member. (The staff member has been ruled out as a suspect—she was shelving books in the Large Print Room upon Mrs. Booker’s demise).

Luckily, Mrs. Booker isn’t totally dead…just sort of dead. Her ghost has left a series of clues to help you find her killer...and the pumpkin spice cake recipe.  Can you help?

How to Play

  • Start solving the mystery by clicking “start here”.
  • Keep a piece of scrap paper handy so you can work out the clue Mrs. Booker has given you.
  • After you solve the first clue, return to this page and click on the picture that matches the answer to the clue you just solved. This will open the next clue. 
  • Do this for each clue. Remember, there may be various answer options to each clue. You must select the correct answer to move forward.
  • Once you have completed all of the clues, you will be asked to complete an online “police report”.
  • Once completed, you the “police report” enters you to win a scrumptious prize!
  • All entries are due by October 26th! After this date, you can still play the game, but will not be entered into the drawing.
