CSI Puzzle Unit: Over 100 criminally challenging puzzles to solve

by Joel Jessup

An investigative narrative is weaved through over 100 puzzles, from word searches and anagrams to logical thinking and longer stories where you'll need to read between the lines and gather any clues, evidence and discrepancies to solve a series of cases. Don your disposable gloves and plastic booties and step past the DO NOT ENTER tape into Crime Scene Investigation - Puzzle Unit . You're joining the forensive team to work through a series of grisly murders, robberies and deceptions; you'll need to gather evidence, sift through lies and puzzle your way through the twists and turns of life in the crime lab. But it's not always just the criminals who obstruct your investigations... there's a mole in the team, and it's up to you to find them. If you fancy yourself the next Gil Grissom or Horatio Caine, then this is your chance to test your deductive skills and powers of observation and see if you match up to the greats. Over 100 puzzles, cases and conundrums allow you to step into the shoes of a forensic expert and see if all those hours of TV bingeing have finally paid off.

You are a police investigator trying to catch a corrupt cop within your organization and you have to solve 99 puzzles along the way before coming to the 100th big question of “who do you think is the traitor?” Some puzzles are very easy, some are challenging. Some require (not-so) general knowledge in order for you to be able to solve them.

Although I felt frustrated with my lack of technical knowledge and patience to play the games on paper (sudoku and nonogram are way easier on apps where you don’t have to pen everything down yourself), I found the book overall quite fun. I liked the ending as well.
