The show's official social media account shared the news on Instagram alongside a photo of the book's front cover.
The caption read: "Do you have what it takes to solve the mystery?

It's safe to say viewers were delighted with the announcement and shared their excitement in the comments section. One person penned: "OMG! THAT is on my Christmas List," while another added: "Yaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!"
The news comes as Ralf returns to our screens in a new documentary series, Will & Ralf Should Know Better, which sees the actor team up with his former Two Pints of Lager co-star Will Mellor as they "learn how to become better men in their middle age".

Will & Ralf Should Know Better marks Ralf's first starring TV role since leaving Death in Paradise at the end of series 13, which saw DI Neville sail off into the sunset with DI Florence Cassell (Joséphine Jobert).
Explaining the reason behind his departure during an appearance on ITV's Lorraine earlier this year, the 44-year-old said: "If it was just a heart decision I would have wanted to do it for 20 more years. But just for the show and for my character Neville it just sort of felt like his story was finished and his journey deserved to be completed. He deserved a happy ending and it just felt right."
