Sherlock Puzzle Book (Volume 1): Unsolved Cases And Riddles Documented By Dr John Watson
Can You Solve This?
Holmes and I had been working on a case involving two thieves.
They had done a very good job at covering their tracks, but they hadn’t been smart enough to outsmart Holmes.
We seemed to be a couple of steps behind them, but we still hadn’t figured out where they were headed next.
“Do we have any new information?” I asked Holmes as he looked through some papers on the men.
“The only information I have to gather thus far is that they were born on the same day, in the same year, to the same parents.”
“Why, that must mean that they are twins.”
“No, they aren’t twins.”
“Why, that’s not possible. They must be if they were born on the same day and year, and to the same mother.”
Holmes didn’t respond. He continued to look through the papers in his hands.
Somehow, he was right. Two men had been born on the same day and year to the same mother, yet they were not twins.
How could the men not be twins?

This was entertaining to read several stories at a time. Or just one story each day.

There were a few things that really irritated me about this book:
First, there were typos and errors on almost every page! Some of which actually affected whether or not the puzzle was solvable without looking at the solution.
Second, several of the puzzles asked the reader to make assumptions that were based on bias or stereotypes, such as assuming that a nurse had to be female. I realize this may have been a reasonable assumption for Sherlock Holmes to make in his day and age, but why do we have to reinforce these biases for a new generation?
I was also annoyed that the final puzzle was actually a marketing ploy- you can’t get the solution unless you buy the next book!
I enjoyed thinking through some of the puzzles, but not enough to recommend this book.

Amazing Job!!!
I loved how I was able to figure out some of the puzzles but my family could not and they where surprised at some of the answers. This was a fun read thank you!

Fun little case book to do yourself or with friends/family. Poorly edited though, many typos in my copy.
