In a word ‘brilliant’. Loved this.

Do you love the game of Clue? 🕵🏼‍♂️

Does family game night not come frequently enough for you?? 🧩

This book contains 100 mysteries which can be solved using LOGIC, SKILL and the power of DEDUCTION, by G.T. Garber, the creator of the popular online daily mystery game called MURDLE.

STUDY the list of suspects, weapons and locations and read the clues carefully…then determine whodunnit with what weapon and where…(like in the board game!)

You can solve these on your own or join the Detective Club at Murdle.com to solve these with others!

They start out at the ELEMENTARY level, and gradually get harder, (Impossible??) and the first mystery is broken down for you, using a grid, so that you understand how to go about solving the others.

What a great stocking stuffer for the amateur detectives in your family!🕵🏼‍♂️🕵️‍♀️🕵🏾 🎅🤶🏻🧑🏻‍🎄

I know that this book will be keeping me busy for quite awhile, as it is one to savor and not rush through! It sounds like FUN, and I am looking forward to sharpening my skills!!

I definitely recommend a PHYSICAL COPY of this one.

This FIRST EDITION is now available! Enjoy!

Thank You to the Publisher for the gifted copy!

Out in paperback!

I didn't know about Murdle until I saw friends' reviews and really want to give it a try. I love word games and puzzles and the idea of cracking a case is a bonus for a mystery fan like myself.

Using logic and deduction to solve the mysteries, SUSPECTS, WEAPONS, and LOCATIONS are provided and also a grid notepad. Two characters Deductive Logico and Inspector Irratino will guide you through the process. Some clues are in codes and need to be decoded. It's very clever how information is presented. There are 100 scenarios ranging from "Elementary" to "Impossible" difficulty. What a fun and exciting concept!

I also found an online edition (https://murdle.com/) that is easier to play than on a tablet. Through my PC I can use a notepad on the same page without swiping back and forth. I'm happy to see that this is out as a paperback and probably the best way to play! This will make an awesome gift, getting this for a friend who will be traveling.

For Netgalley reviewers if you're stuck. I will admit that I struggled so much at first. I received this advance reader's copy through Netgalley and downloaded it in a Kindle format. All graphics were in black "legos" looking blocks and gray boxes with absolutely nothing written. I had no idea how this works and wonder how anyone thought this was fun. 😗 So, if you received ARC, you'll have to read it on Netgalley Shelf app.

Thank you St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for my DRC.

This is a pretty fun logic puzzle game that requires deduction to solve the problem. Grab a pencil or pen cause you’re going to want to fill out the pages. Great to pass the time but they are all very similar - I’d like a little more variety.

[CYIReadBooks (Claire) · Rating 5 out of 5]

For those armchair detectives, Murdle is an absolute must have. It’s a book that would make a great gift for Christmas or birthdays. I am definitely pre-ordering the book for myself as well as ordering both Volume I and Volume II (releases September 2023,) for my sister and brother-in-law as gifts for Christmas.

There are 100 different puzzles ranging from elementary to impossible. Though I did find that the elementary puzzles were still a bit challenging.

Rather than just offering a list of clues, the reader is also provided a method to solve the mysteries — a grid. Using the grid, the solver is able to eliminate or add suspects, weapons, and locations to logically resolve the puzzles. Additional hints as well as the solutions are provided in the back of the book.

The ebook format wasn’t the best for reading Murdle. Only because the layout isn’t conducive for using the grid and referencing the clues. I’m sure that the physical copy will resolve that issue.

Fans of the boardgame Clue will just love this book. I certainly did. Five outstanding stars.

I received a digital ARC from St. Martin’s Press through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.

Ok this is a lot of fun!

I've done a couple easy and a couple medium, and the mediums were so tricky I'm honestly scared to try the hard ones XD

The whole premise of this as a story is a bit weak - the 'story' parts are actually kinda pointless - but the puzzling is a lot of fun. I definitely bought into the gimmick of this being in paperback format as opposed to puzzles online. I'm a sucker for puzzles!

May add to this review later but so far I'm having a lot of fun testing my brain power. I imagine it might get a bit tired after a decent number of the same thing, but so far I'm enjoying it.

[Becci · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am a big fan of logic puzzles and definitely not a beginner to these types of puzzles. So the fact that I found these a bit too easy compared to other ones I've done might just be a 'me' problem.


Things I didn't like: there's 4 levels of problems and once you get to the harder levels each puzzle spans 4 pages so you have to keep flicking a page back and forward when solving a puzzle and it was annoying .
Additionally none of the grids have the names or words but pictures and this just meant reading a clue then having to go and find what the picture is.

Lots of the added info was very often redundant , I don't know if anyone else read all the info provided, I didn't , I read each clue then went searching for that specific thing. I think less could have been more (especially if it condensed it into a 2 page spread for each puzzle. )

There were exhibits spread throughout the book that involved different puzzle solving which I liked BUT they're spread throughout the book so I spent time finding them and folding the page so I could find them easier again going forward. Having them at the beginning would have been better.

Also there's a contents page , which told you the page number of each degree of difficulty , great EXCEPT the pages aren't numbered ! So it's basically useless.

Overall this wasn't as good as I hoped it would be . It was more annoying than fun or puzzling for me honestly.

Peguem na lupa, no cachimbo e no vosso bigode mais elegante, porque está na hora de encarnarem um verdadeiro Poirot!

Nem a rainha do crime, Agatha Christie, imaginaria que vocês estariam prestes a tornar-se detetives de primeira, prontos para resolver qualquer mistério. Depois desta experiência, nenhum enigma vos irá escapar!

Murdle, o livro recheado de mistérios para desvendar, desafia-vos com três níveis de dificuldade: uma primeira fase com mistérios mais simples para aquecer os neurônios, uma segunda que põe o cérebro a trabalhar a sério, e uma terceira digna de um verdadeiro detetive profissional!

Lembrou-me imenso o clássico jogo de tabuleiro Cluedo (há mais fãs por aqui?), com os seus 100 mistérios, personagens de nomes peculiares, descrições hilariantes, locais potencialmente perigosos e armas muito (ou nem tanto) letais.

Confesso: estou completamente viciado! Deixo-vos o convite: vamos resolver uns mistérios juntos? Prometo levar o meu bloco de notas, os post-its amarelos e, claro, a minha lupa!

[Steven · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for gifting me an early copy of this book. Below is my honest review.

I love logic puzzles, and this book was a lot of fun. The mysteries are quick and somewhat challenging. My only gripe is that it's difficult to read this one in the ebook format. The solutions are at the end (without links set up to jump around), and they're one right after the other, so you can easily see the solution to the next one on accident.

Otherwise, it's a fun book full of great mini-mystery logic puzzles, just like the Murdle daily puzzle website.

[Marloes · Rating 4 out of 5]

In Murdle vind je 71 moordmysteries waar de beste detective ter wereld, Deductive Logico, aan heeft gewerkt. Treed in zijn voetsporen en bestudeer de verdachten, bekijk de locaties en de mogelijke wapens, onderzoek de aanwijzingen en het bewijsmateriaal, ontcijfer gecodeerde boodschappen en vul het speciale deductierooster in om de dader van iedere moord te ontmaskeren!

Voordat je start met de raadsels krijg je een uitgebreide uitleg (die is overigens ook te vinden in het inkijkexemplaar op de website van Uitgeverij Lannoo, als je wilt bekijken of deze puzzels iets voor jou zijn) en daarna kun je echt goed aan de slag! Het enige wat je nodig hebt is een potlood, een gum - zelfs de beste detective gaat wel eens de fout in - en tijd, want Murdle is verslavend en je bent zo een uur verder als je eenmaal bent begonnen met puzzelen.

De moeilijkheidsgraad wordt mooi opgebouwd en het boek is onderverdeeld in 4 niveaus: in de eerste 2 niveaus ga je op zoek naar de dader, het moordwapen en de locatie, in de latere puzzels komt daar het motief bij en wordt het rooster ook uitgebreid. De grootste uitdaging voor mij waren de puzzels waarbij je ook de verklaringen van de verdachten moet controleren: de moordenaar liegt altijd, maar die leugen is lang niet altijd meteen duidelijk en soms moet je verschillende mogelijkheden uittesten. Toch heb ik me hier ook met plezier in vastgebeten en als je er echt niet uitkomt, staat achterin het boek voor iedere puzzel nog een extra aanwijzing, om je een duwtje in de goede richting te geven. Hierdoor is iedere moordzaak absoluut op te lossen.

De inleidingen en oplossingen van ieder raadsel vormen samen een groter verhaal, er zit een hoop droge humor in de omschrijvingen, de raadsels zijn origineel en afwisselend en dit is echt een erg leuk puzzelboek, goed voor uren ontspanning en plezier. Als je houdt van Cluedo, logisch nadenken en het opvolgen van aanwijzingen, dan is dit zeker iets voor jou!

[Jatar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Najlepszy prezent jaki dostałam! Nie ma lepszej książki, która pozwala wcielić się w detektywa rozwiązującego sprawy zagadkowych morderstw (i to z humorem). Jestem zachwycona, bo nie spodziewałam się, że nawet najprostsze zagadki będą wymagały dłuższego zastanawiania się, a tu proszę, satysfakcja przy poprawnym rozwiązaniu jest gwarantowana. Już nie wspominając o trudniejszych poziomach. Z 4 poziomu trudności udało mi się rozwiązać na razie jedną sprawę i to tylko dlatego, że wciągnęłam do zabawy narzeczonego i razem się głowiliśmy ^^
(zaznaczę, że na ten moment spotkałam się tylko z 1 błędnym tłumaczeniem w sprawie nr 3, które pomyliło nazwiska mordercy - a niech cię języku polski!)

[Krickette❤️ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Do you like puzzles? Do you like figuring out the missing link? Well this murder-logic-puzzle book might be right up your alley! After reading a few reviews, I thought why not? So, I went out and grabbed the puzzle book Murdle (Volume 1) and began this new journey!

This book is filled with two page mysteries. Using your detective skills you will log and organize your discoveries onto a logic graph to help you along the way. Each mystery includes creative characters, peculiar places and a variety of weapons to choose from. It’s a mix of the board game of “Clue” and the graphing and “canceling out” of Sudoku only with pictures rather than numbers. These puzzles go quick once you get the hang of it and they range from easy to difficult, so there is a mystery for everyone.

This is a fun puzzle book with a murderous twist! 3⭐️! For this fun filled book!

[Christine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've been playing this game online every day and really enjoy the fun logic puzzles. I love that each logic puzzle is actually a mini murder mystery to solve and includes humor in the crime's backstory and in the clues and evidence. I found that the puzzles don't really work well in the ebook format. I was so excited to see a book was coming out with Murdle puzzles. I  received an e-book version and not everything was displayed as clearly as I'm sure it will be in the print version.

The book consists of 100 mystery puzzles of varying levels of difficulty- 25 Elementary, 25 Medium, 25 Hard boiled, and 25 "impossible". As in the online version, there is one hint for each mystery which is included at the back of the book. The hints are followed by the solution with the identity of the murderer, the weapon, the location and the motive when applicable for each puzzle. I enjoy solving these unique logic puzzles and look forward to when the print version of the book is released which will be easier to work with than the electronic version.

I received an advance copy of this ebook at no cost from NetGalley and St. Martin's Press, but my review is voluntary and unbiased. 

[Emma Reid · Rating 5 out of 5]

I freaking love Murdle and this encapsulates all of the daily puzzle fun in book form. They also add some elements of story to the mix with Detective Logico's past. Plus the time trial for the Elementary section? BANANAS! I definitely want a physical copy so I can try out a speed-run and the "all in the mind" challenge. They also add fun elements like the Astrological Primer, decoder ring, and even an over-arching mystery. Plus hints and quick solutions in the back, where you have to actually seek them out. Looooooove.

*Thank you to St Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review*

[Coffee & Chapters · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hands down one of my favourite books! I’m a huge fan of Cluedo boardgames and Murdle is just that, but on paper and with multiple levels and hidden clues and challenges for the reader (or deductive!)
I really enjoyed working my way through the puzzles and I feel I’ve become a really close friend of Deductive Logico (even though it’s a fictional character who isn’t real) and was rooting for him, and really trying to concentrate to solve each Murdle and help him on his journey.

I would recommend to all those who love thrillers, murder mysteries, and solving puzzles.

Currently working my way through Murdle Vol.2 and I love it just as much!

[Ivonne Rovira · Rating 4 out of 5]

Twenty-five whodunnits that kids — and their grownups — can attempt to solve. You’ll need scratch paper and a pencil. These aren’t Encyclopedia Brown-level mysteries; they’re pretty hard. Even so they’re really fun, and I’m super excited that the title says “Volume 1,” meaning there will be more! Great for exercising your brain!

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press and St. Martin’s Griffin in exchange for an honest review.

[Kat (Katlovesbooks) Dietrich · Rating 4 out of 5]

Murdle: Volume 1 by G.T. Karber is touted as 100 Elementary to Impossible Mysteries to Solve Using Logic, Skill, and the Power of Deduction.

First, let me thank NetGalley, the publisher St. Martin’s Press and of course the author, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.


My Synopsis and Opinions:
Basically, the book is a collection of logic puzzles, all dealing with mysteries/crimes.

With each case, you "join" Deductive Logico to investigate the crime and find out the the crime, perpetrator, location, etc...

Well, first....I will be buying a hard-copy of this book, because I LOVE logic problems.

That leads me to my first problem with this book.  You cannot work on these puzzles with an e-reader.   I did a few of them, but used my computer to read the puzzles, and had a pad of paper and a pen beside me to solve them.

Note that there are 4 sections to the book, with different degrees of difficulty ranging from "Elementary" to "Impossible".  Then there is a Hint section for each puzzle, and then finally a section with the Solutions.  These last two sections, of course, don't work too easily on an e-reader.

However, there are a lot of illustrations, charts, and maps, and interesting puzzles....so I will recommend this book (hard-copy only),  and I will check out the puzzles one-line!

I'd like to thank Murdle for delighting me over and over these past few months, and I'd like to thank first year undergrad "intro to mathematical reasoning" for teaching me truth tables.

[James · Rating 2 out of 5]

Unexpectedly full of logic puzzles (which I like) but I was expecting a variety of puzzles to solve. The book has somewhat of a storyline, but none of the puzzles are dependent on any of the others. Unfortunately, the puzzles are extremely easy, even the “impossible” ones, making the book less than satisfactory. It is also extremely woke, with male and religious characters getting the brunt of the jokes. Puzzle books are for fun and not BS lectures on DEI. Very disappointing.

[DesanaRose · Rating 5 out of 5]

I LOVE this book. There are so many different types of puzzles. It's broken out in sections by difficulty level and puzzle type.

Let me tell you, I'm not as clever as I thought I was🤣 (I'm making fun of myself but seriously...yikes me😅)

This is definitely going to be one of my favorite buys of the year and I'm a week into 2024.

[Arthur Marchetto · Rating 5 out of 5]

É uma proposta bem simples: um desafio de lógica da revista Coquetel mesclado com a história do detetive Logicus e suas investigações ao lado de Irratinus.

Aqui, os quebra-cabeças ficam cada vez mais complexos (ou com mais elementos, ou com mais mentiras) enquanto você entra numa trama literária e cinematográfica bastante engraçada. As descrições de armas e locais são muito divertidas.

Adorei a brincadeira, logo devo pegar o segundo volume!

I DID IT I DID THEM ALL WOOOOO

[Ellinor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Murdle ist gerade der letzte Schrei. Als alte Rätselliebhaberin musste ich mir das Buch natürlich auch gleich besorgen und selber ein bisschen Detektiv spielen 🕵️‍♀️
Das Buch enthält 100 Rätsel aufgeteilt in vier verschiedene Schwierigkeitsstufen á 25 Rätsel. Alle folgen dem altbekannten Prinzip der Logikrätsel. Man erhält eine gewisse Anzahl an Hinweisen, anhand derer man mithilfe eines Gitters die Aufgabe löst. Zusätzlich muss man noch (ähnlich wie bei Cluedo) herausfinden, wer der Täter war, wo er oder sie gemordet hat und was die Tatwaffe war; ab Stufe 3 kommt noch ein Tatmotiv dazu. In den ersten beiden Stufen gibt es pro Kategorie jeweils drei Verdächtige etc, ab Stufe 3 sind es vier. In Stufe 2 und 4 gibt es zudem noch Aussagen der möglichen Täter, wobei der Mörder immer lügt.

Die Geschichten sind humorvoll, teilweise mit einem Augenzwinkern geschrieben. Meine Lieblingswaffe ist eindeutig der Bücherstapel (könnte mir auch passieren, wäre dann aber ein Unfall 😜) Durchgelesen habe ich mir allerdings nicht alles, oftmals die Texte nur überflogen. Das Buch ist sehr unterhaltsam, mir persönlich sind die Rätsel aber zu einfach. Ich habe früher viele dieser Logikrätsel gelöst und diese waren oftmals deutlich schwieriger. Die ersten beiden Stufen fand ich langweilig, auch in Stufe drei lösten sich die Rätsel praktisch von selbst. Stufe vier war besser allerdings auch keine Herausforderung, ich könnte meisten lösen, ohne das Gitter komplett gefüllt zu haben. Ich würde das Buch daher eher Leser*innen, die mit dem Genre noch nicht vertraut sind, empfehlen. Einen zweiten Band bräuchte ich persönlich jetzt nicht, da müsste schon nochmal eine Schwierigkeitsstufe dazukommen.

[Tara · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this on Friday and have spent the last 5 days or so working through the puzzles. I’ve finished a little over half so far. They do get progressively harder but are not impossible. There is a little bit of a storyline and you get some more of the story after checking the answer. I chose to work on the puzzles in batches only checking the answers after 6 or so puzzles so that I didn’t accidentally see the answer for the next Murdle. Because of this, I didn’t really follow the storyline but I don’t feel like it diminished my experience at all! Can’t wait for volumes 2 & 3!

[Ellie · Rating 5 out of 5]

THIS WAS SO FUN OMG, it’s so well done. Each murder we solve is part of a bigger story for each “level” of the book. They get progressively more difficult but are also all really fun no matter the level. What a slay
