The second volume's subtitle is More Killer Puzzles: 100 fiendishly foul murder-mystery logic puzzles. murdle.com/crypt/ is described as a serialized prologue to it, with a new installment at midnight. On 2026-10-01 the official market page still showed a UK pre-order line for Volume 2 next to US shop links. I report that label as what the page said, not as proof the UK edition is unpublished — the books have been on sale since 2023. If you need a live stock check, open the shop.
