Hartigan Browne biography

Hartigan Browne is the author of the Cluedle puzzle-mystery books for children, a narrative series that invites readers to solve codes, ciphers, and visual puzzles to crack each case. The program launched in 2024 and is published in the UK by Pan Macmillan (Macmillan Children’s Books) and in the US by Workman Kids, an imprint of Hachette Book Group.

Each title pairs an investigation led by the fictional private detective Hartigan Browne with page-by-page challenges that reveal clues and eliminate suspects. The series is designed for independent readers in late elementary and middle grades, with content and reading level positioned for ages 9–12.

Early entries include Cluedle: The Case of the Dumpleton Diamond (2024), followed by Cluedle: The Case of the Golden Pomegranate (2024) and the seasonal title Cluedle: The Case of Rudolph’s Revenge (2024). Additional installments such as Cluedle: The Case of the Silver Cipher continue the format of integrated riddles, logic problems, and map-based clues within a continuous story.

Publisher materials describe the books as interactive mysteries that develop observation, reasoning, and pattern-spotting skills while keeping a strong narrative drive. The Cluedle list appears across trade and school channels in both territories, supported by series pages from Pan Macmillan and Hachette/Workman Kids and retailer listings that provide age guidance, formats, and ISBN data.
