Hello and welcome to your further adventures in puzzle-solving!
Last year, PonyJosiah13 started the story Raven Hollow, an experimental mystery story combined with puzzles for readers to solve themselves. Recently, he approached me about writing the sequel so he could devote his writing energies to the excellent Ponyville Noire: Tails of Two Private Eyes. I was happy to help!
For those new to the series or those who need a refresher, let me explain how this works: at the end of each chapter will be a puzzle or riddle for you to solve before moving on to the next chapter. Feel free to discuss strategies or parts of the solution in the comments, but please do not post the solution in the comments section. Send answers to me via PMs and I will tell you if you're right or give you a hint if you're wrong. Or you can check the start of the next chapter which will walk you through the solution, once it's published.
I will do my best to release new chapters weekly. I hope you enjoy this installment of Raven Hollow as much as I enjoyed the original!
