Join Holmes and Watson in this fun puzzle book!
I’m a big fan of Sherlock Holmes mysteries and have the complete annotated collection in my personal library. I read and re-read Holmes and Watson mysteries often with great pleasure. When I saw this puzzle book, I knew I had to check it out.Filled with over 130 logic puzzles, riddles, and interesting brain teasers told from the point of view of Dr. Watson, this is a treasure for mystery and puzzle lovers alike. Each puzzle has a link to the solution as well as a link to the next puzzle which makes navigating this book a breeze on any device. The puzzles range from super easy to difficult, doesn’t take more than a few minutes each and reading it is a great brain exercise.This puzzle book reminded me of back in my youth when I devoured Encyclopedia Brown books. It’s better, though, because it’s Holmes and Watson. The age range is middle grade to adult, although I’m sure the author has geared it for adults. It’s clean so parents don’t have to worry about the content.If you’re a Sherlock Holmes fan and looking for fun brain-teasers to read through on your commute or while you’re waiting for the kids to get out of school, pick this up right away. It would make a superb gift, too!Disclaimer: I received an ARC from Arcturus Digital via Netgalley in the hopes I’d review it.My Rating: 5+ stars

fun little brain teaser
This was a fun little brain teaser. Mostly logic and some mathematical puzzles, also some that could not be solved by a normal person (I dare to say) but where interesting. In the ebook version is a link after every puzzle that brings one to the well explained solution, and from there back or on to the next puzzle, which made for easy reading.

Fun story puzzles with a nostalgic feel
This book reminded me strongly of the Two Minute Mysteries that I loved to read when I was young. The puzzles are quick, and encourage you to think about things a little differently. I found it enjoyable, and a good distraction while waiting for an appointment. I would recommend this for word puzzle lovers, and people who are good at trivia.Thanks to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Great for exercising your brain!
I thoroughly enjoy the riddles in the book. They're pretty fun and not too math intensive. Great for exercising your mind.

Puzzles Easily Solved
Puzzles worthy of the great Sherlock Homes. Who could ask for more? And that is exactly why I chose this book, purely for the Sherlock Homes connection. I found a good collection of puzzle of different types. This was fun for a few puzzles but soon became boring because the puzzles were too easy to solve. This would probably be great for a tweens project with a puzzle a day to solve.

For a younger audience.
I am a mystery aficionado. A good mystery is one in which I can't solve the mystery. I am also a fan of Sherlock Holmes. The puzzles were fun for a while but very easy to solve and became boring after a while. A good book for a younger audience.

Sherlock Holmes would laugh
So simple and a bit naughty with the English language at times. A map is not a place, the picture of a barrel does not have a lid - most beer barrels do not. There are others, half way through book and can't be bothered with anymore. Mind you probably good for a ten year old.

It was Ok
It is probably better suited to someone more intelligent than me, but I was a bit disappointed. One of the early puzzles I came up with an answer to, so checked the answers at the back of the book, and I was wrong, but it didn't explain how the correct answer is arrived at? Frustrating!

Great book of original Puzzles
Given as a gift and well received. Contains loads of original puzzles with only a few I'd seen before. This kind of book is great for travel or a get together with friends and makes a changes from quizes. Very well presented. Recommended!

A big hit
My partner absolutely loved this he completed it in about a week of having it but he is quite the brain box. Some are easier than others some are quite challenging.
