I am obsessed
I love this book, I carry it in my bag wherever I go, it's easy to understand yet tricky at times. It's a good read and can be funny at times. I do this book at work, home and while travelling. A great time passer and I will be buying the second one!!

Challenging, unique, and perfect for puzzle lovers.
As someone who enjoys brain teasers like sudoku and crosswords, I was intrigued by the novelty of Murdle. I wasn’t sure how challenging it would be, but it turns out these puzzles are delightfully tricky yet rewarding to solve. The book includes 100 puzzles with varying difficulty levels and provides a thorough explanation of how to tackle each one. The characters and backstories are hilarious, reminiscent of Cluedo, with suspects, clues, and settings adding to the fun.Pros:• 100 puzzles ranging from challenging to fiendishly difficult.• Clear instructions make it approachable for newcomers.• Entertaining characters and storylines add to the experience.• Includes hints and solutions for when you get stuck.• Makes a fantastic gift for puzzle enthusiasts.Cons:• Not for those looking for quick or simple puzzles—these require focus and time.• Some puzzles might feel intimidating for beginners, despite the explanations.

Fun for all ages
This book has been an absolute success in my house! I bought it for my husband, as he likes a logic puzle, but it has been enjoyed by everyone.The book itself is excellent quality, with a sturdy front cover. The content is really interesting and the puzzles are suitable for any age, but with a good element of challenge. As there is an overarching character in it, as well as the puzzles themselves, it's easy to get addicted! I highly recommend this!

If you are Logic puzzle person- this is not a value!
Okay- so maybe someone will read this and save their time and money-- If you are a logic puzzle fan and enjoy a challenge only the last 50 puzzles are worth any time.This book has 25 puzzles that aren't a puzzle- literally read the clues and there's the answer, no thinking required.Next 25 add an element which I liked- 3 of the 4 clues are true, 1 is false - problem though for these 25 puzzles were still quite simple if you've ever done logic puzzles.The next 25 finally get the thinking part of the brain going.The final 25 brings back the 3 are true, 1 is a lie - plus some serious thinking to solve at times.So basically you get 50 puzzles and 50 waste of time don't bother as there is no challenge things [not really a puzzle].Added to this, if you like logic puzzles- the clipart used will drive you NUTS!!!! You would think for a book that is a best seller and multiple in the series they'd spend money and get better clipart that matches what they are describing. No, instead they use only a few cliparts, repeating them over and over but for different meanings and a number of times not making sense at all.Now a thing I despise, but this could just be me, is this constant referencing to a page for clues etc- such as a map or astrological symbols, etc. While that's unique- it's really annoying when you have to flip back 50 pages to find this single bit of info. I mean it's a logic puzzle, not an actual storybook murder mystery. Which leads me to another thing...I get the author is trying to make a fun story, but PLEASE expand your characters and if they commit a murder, they shouldn't be in any more murder puzzles if the main character is a detective because then you are saying he couldn't get them arrested and convicted and they just turned out to be serial killers.Overall is the book bad- no. But it isn't meant for the logic puzzle diehards like myself. And if you are like me, just move on [or if you can find it used for much less, then last 25 puzzles are worth spending some money on].I'll be passing on all the rest of the series.

Enjoyable
Great for keeping your brain active. Glad they start off easy so I could get used to the process, before they get more complicated.
