The Ultimate Sherlock Holmes Puzzle Book: Solve Over 140 Puzzles from His Most Famous Cases
Solve over 144 puzzles, navigate around maps of London and the English countryside, search for hidden clues, and--most importantly--exercise your sharp intellect and keen perception skills, just as Sherlock Holmes would. Hours of fun and entertainment await you inside!
First appearing in 1887, Sherlock Holmes and his loyal friend and biographer, Dr. John Watson, continue to be two of the most popular detective characters of all time. Who, then, could be better companions to accompany you on this three-challenge puzzle adventure, inspired by these six classic Sherlock Holmes short stories?
The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone
The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge
The Adventure of the Second Stain
The Adventure of the Reigate Puzzle
The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter
The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plan
This illustrated edition includes:
The Puzzle Challenge: Each of the six chapters, inspired by a Sherlock Holmes short story, contains 24 puzzles for you to solve, including cryptograms, crosswords, ciphers, and more.
The Map Challenge: Each chapter has an accompanying map, so after you solve a puzzle, you consult the map clue box at the bottom of the page for your next stop on the map and puzzle to solve.
The Sherlock Challenge: This challenge has you looking out for Sherlock's magnifying glass with a number in it, prompting you to add words to grids and ultimately revealing a Sherlock Holmes quotation.
The Puzzlecraft series from Wellfleet Press tackles some of the greatest conundrums of our time. Learn how to navigate the world's trickiest mazes, solve the most complex crosswords, and finally get the answer to "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Follow literature's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, as he guides you through hundreds of challenging cross-fitness brain exercises inspired by his most popular cases and adventures. You can also train your memory to perform better and learn the meanings behind your own personality traits or the traits of others. These handy and portable paperbacks are sized perfectly to travel, whether on vacation or just for your daily commute. The intricately designed covers and bold colors will capture your attention as much as the engaging content inside.
Other titles in the series include: The Curious History of Mazes; The Curious History of the Crossword; The Curious History of the Riddle; Escape from Sherlock Holmes; Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Code Breakers; Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Math & Logic Games; Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Visual Puzzles; Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Lateral Brain Teasers; Solving Sherlock Homes; Maximize Your Memory; and The Book of Personality Tests.

3.5☆ An Enjoyable Themed Puzzle Book
I really enjoyed reading and solving some of the Puzzles in this book however it would of been a higher rating had I read the book using a paperback or hardback.
This type of puzzle solving book is not recommended using a kindle version.
For one the maps you need to help solve the clues are far too small on a kindle screen even using zoom mode you miss out on seeing the beautiful illustrations in their full glory!
Also the clarity of the puzzles on kindle version are a little blured, still readable but not sharp enough to fully appreciate them!
The puzzles themselves are fun, I'm not great at puzzles but I love trying to solve them. I definitely think there is something for everyone and every level in this book.
I loved the theme and if you are a fan of Sherlock then you will love this book.
Despite my little niggles I would definitely buy this book in a physical format either for myself or as a present. I would also have no problems recommending it to others.
Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Loved the puzzles (I am still working my way through them all). and the book is very visually pleasing. Colorful and well laid out. However, I had a hard time reading it on my tablet. A lot of things were just too small, so I ended up having to read it on my computer. Not my favorite thing. 🤷🏻♀️ I would definitely recommend this book for puzzle lovers, but go for a physical copy!

Like the other books before this one, I thoroughly enjoyed the content in this book. I turned it into a bit of a family affair, and my children loved trying to be the first to solve each of the puzzles.
Definitely a great way to spend an evening with the added bonus that not only are the children not in front of a screen, but they are also using a bit of grey matter.

A fun interactive puzzle solving book that would be ideal for families to share together as an alternative to a board game on games night. These puzzles will really test your brain!
I really like the format of the book, which prevents you from getting bored.
