Sherlock Holmes Compendium of Mysterious Puzzles

by Gareth Moore, Sidney Paget (Illustrator), George Wylie Hutchinson (Illustrator)

Pit your wits against the greatest detective of them all with this collection of over 130 fiendish and hugely entertaining narrative puzzles. Some involve riddles, some plays on words, and some rely on mathematical principles. Use your powers of logical deduction, and see if you can match the towering intellect of Sherlock Holmes.

Not only does this collection include brilliant puzzles to ponder over, but it presents these quandaries within exchanges between Holmes and Watson. In this way, this puzzle book retains the same cosy Victorian charm that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's tales are so loved for.

Featuring the original pen and ink illustrations by Sidney Paget and George Hutchinson, this gorgeously designed puzzle book will immerse you in Holmes's mysteries and keep you entertained for hours.

Rather hard actually. I loved the story that runs through the whole thing. Jumped around a bit doing puzzles and brain teasers. Will keep doing more as well. Enjoyable a great gift.

I really liked the story that runs through the book and some of the puzzles are actually quite difficult and require you to think outside the box.
