The cover and listing the builder leaves to you, a plan for turning one book into a series, and a way to build a reader list you own. Three practical reports, sent when your purchase clears.
What Guilty by Deduction is.
A browser-based builder from Kate Riley’s Puzzle Arsenal team that creates complete illustrated whodunit logic puzzle books. Every case is a crime scene on two facing pages: three suspects, three items and three locations, each on its own illustrated card, with the clues and a deduction grid.
You choose murder, theft or a mix, and Easy, Medium, Hard or Progressive difficulty, in books of up to 200 cases. Every case is checked for exactly one answer, and the answer key explains each one step by step. You can rename cases, houses and victims, rewrite intros and swap suspects, and the builder re-checks the case each time.
It exports a print-ready PDF for Amazon KDP in three trim sizes (8.5 x 11, 8 x 10 and 6 x 9), or 300 DPI PNG pages for Etsy. It’s a one-time $27, and the books you create are yours to publish and sell.
Guilty by Deduction handles the hardest part, the cases. These are the jobs that still sit with you, and they decide whether a finished book sells.
The builder makes the interior. The cover, spine and back are yours to add.
Title, subtitle, keywords and categories decide which searches you appear in.
These readers want the next case. One book on its own leaves that on the table.
Amazon doesn’t give you their email. Without a list, every launch starts from zero.

Three steps. It takes about a minute.
One thing worth checking: if you’ve clicked another affiliate’s link recently, clear your cookies or use a private browsing window before you click mine. Otherwise the sale lands somewhere else and I won’t be able to see it, which means I can’t send you the bonuses even if I want to.
Buy through the link, send me the receipt, get the reports.
Guilty by Deduction makes the interior, not the cover, so budget a bit of time (or a designer) for that. The sales page leans on royalty estimates for the biggest books in the niche, and those are estimates for famous titles, not a forecast for yours. What the builder genuinely removes is the slow part: drawing grids, writing clues and checking every case has one answer. Pair that with a proper cover, a sensible series and a reader list, and you’re a long way ahead of someone doing it by hand.
