The prestigious annual Dr Blott Book Club Award was in full swing in the ancient town of Dorchester. Authors from all over the country had gathered, eager to win the highly coveted prize.

Local authorities have narrowed down the suspects to the authors present at the event. But which one of them could have had a hand in Dr Blott's disappearance, and why? It's up to YOU, our top detectives, to sharpen your pencils, solve the clues, and uncover the truth!
