Product Description
In the tradition of Quirk's The Crimes of Dr. Watson, this interactive mystery pits a legendary detective—Batman—against a shocking and seemingly inexplicable crime.

When a construction crew at Wayne Manor discovers a long-buried corpse, all the evidence points to Bruce Wayne's late father, Thomas, as the murderer. Torn between the need to protect his father's honor and his thirst for dispensing justice, Batman sets out to solve this coldest of cases, using police reports, his father's private journal, maps of Wayne Manor, news clippings, forensic samples, and photographs from family albums (all included throughout the book as removable facsimiles).

Was Dr. Wayne—whom young Bruce Wayne swore to avenge on that bloody night in Gotham City—actually a killer? It's up to you to sift through the clues and solve this thrilling whodunit. When you've identified the culprit, you can open the final signature of the book (sealed at the printer) to read the remainder of the story. Complete with eye-popping illustrations and first-rate production values, Batman: Murder at Wayne Manor will appeal to mystery buffs of all ages.

 
Customer Reviews for  'Batman: Murder at Wayne Manor: An Interactive Mystery (Interactive Batman Mystery)'
 
Murder Mystery Suspense...
This book is well written, includes several "clues" as artefacts. It describes a murder mystery featuring Batman/Bruce Wayne as the detective. It reminds me of the great Dennis Wheatley Murder Mystery "dossiers" of the late 1930s (republished in the late 1970s, long out of print) in that the story and the clues are there to lead the reader to draw conclusions as to whodunnit. The one complaint I do have is that it is overpriced. I paid full price for my copy from Barnes & Noble.
 
Sorry I read this
Great for the 10 - 13 age group.
Nothing like other books by the author
 
Innovative storytelling
Although the entire mystery is somewhat simple to solve, the author uses the "same clues" (tucked creatively away until needed)The Dark Night Detective finds during his investigation. It is a quick read, but I found it entertaining as well. I wouldn't mind seeing more Batman stories told along these lines, although a little more of a challenging mystery would be welcome. I probably will look into the author's other offering of this type, as I am also a fan of Sherlock Holmes as well.
 
Enjoyable but simple...
Younger readers will love this interactive mystery but most adults will not be challenged by it.
 
Batplay
I have always had a fondness for pop-up books and books with pockets and pullouts.

Couple this with my absolute love of Batman and this book is a dream come true.

It was interesting how the tale gave more of a detective spin by showing the way Bruce Wayne reacts to peril while maintaining his secret identity.

A must for the true fan.
