I loved the first book in this series and was so excited to get the newest one. I enjoy logic puzzles and this book was filled with traditional logic puzzles along with other deduction type puzzles. The map-drawing puzzles were my least favorite, but I love all the others.

This isn't just a puzzle book. As an avid mystery reader, I love that the book also includes a cozy mystery with the puzzles fitting the story. The premise of the book is a group of puzzle-loving friends work together to solve a mystery. This book has a few different crimes and the various puzzles give the characters in the story and the reader clues to solving it. I had several days of fun reading this story and solving the puzzles. The ending seems to hit that there will be another book in the series - I hope so!

I enjoy these puzzle/mystery books so much! I’m challenged but I’m not so frustrated I can’t finish the puzzle even if they may take me a day or two.

If you love puzzles. Check this series out. This one is book 2.

Fun but simple puzzles with a very simple murder mystery. The puzzles are quite addictive.

I love most books by Laura Jayne Ayres and Dr Gareth Moore, but this series is not doing it for me. The puzzles are too repetitive for my attention span, sadly. The story is nice, as always, but they lost me with the puzzles.

Really enjoyed the puzzles but thought the ending was really anticlimactic
