Hello,and welcome to 'The Unscrambler'. It means sooo much to me that you decided to give this book a chance and I WILL try my bestest(even though there is no such word) to not disappoint anyone.

The following are some requests which I would greatly appreciate if the reader could cooperate with:

1. DON'T SKIP CHAPTERS

Please don't skip any chapters while reading. This is a murder mystery and hence each chapter has multiple clues pertaining to the mystery, and you need these clues if you want to catch the killer before our detective... sorry, Our Unscrambler!

2. VOTE & COMMENT

Please don't forget to vote and comment after reading a chapter. It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, not to mention, it motivates me to keep updating faster and better!

3. FOLLOW

Please follow this account to stay constantly notified about the book. For e.g. When the next update will be, or when a chapter is ready.

4. AWARDS

If you could nominate me for awards you come across, it would be greatly appreciated. It would show me that my work is being liked by people. What's more, since it will mean more people will read the book, I won't slacken off and I won't let my guard down(or rather, my pen down).

5. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

All rights including copyright and translation rights etc. are reserved and vests exclusively with me. No part of this publication may be reproduced, copied or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior permission from me(Basically, just please don't copy anything from this book).

6. INSTAGRAM

I have an official Instagram account that will feature exclusive info on the book, with various polls on character preferences, story progression, etc, where your opinion WILL matter! Please make sure to follow me @therealtroubletimes for the latest updates and exclusive stuff!

Okay, that is all you need to know before you start reading. OH, I ALMOST FORGOT!! IMPORTANT POINT:

ALL CHAPTERS WRITTEN COMPLETELY IN ITALICS ARE BEING NARRATED FROM A THIRD-PERSON POV and NOT by Charlie Bolt. This is an important thing to keep note of, as you'll soon see why(Btw, see the subtle thing I just did there? No? Oh, well..)

Okay, now we are ready to start. Thank you once again for clicking onto this book. Happy Unscrambling!
