The Suitor Isn't Mr Darcy

Paperback

Synopsis

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single lady in possession of a secret admirer must be in want of a logic puzzle.

Step into the gossip-filled drawing rooms of Regency England, where a mysterious suitor is vying for your heart. But first, you must uncover his true identity. Armed with an official Society Directory listing 20,000 prospective bachelors, finding your secret admirer is a matter of pure, unapologetic logic.

Guided by sixteen subtle clues left in his correspondence, you must methodically cross off every lord, rogue, and unsuitable gentleman who fails to fit the criteria:

  • Eliminate the Incompatible: Rule out suitors whose initials match their county, names with double letters, or bachelors listed on the same page as a ‘Sir’.
  • Claim Your Match: Satisfy every rule until only one gentleman remains standing.

Delightfully playful and entertaining, this interactive deduction game is the ultimate test of wit for any old-school romantic.
