I received an ARC of this book thanks to NetGalley and publisher Wellfleet Press in exchange for an honest review.

This is a neat little collection of puzzles! I like the theme, the illustrations add a lot and there is enough variety to keep someone occupied for quite a while. It is decently put together, although some workout space on the pages might have been nice. All in all though, a lovely little puzzle book.

What a clever concept this is!  Code breakers is one title in a series of puzzle books that uses material from Sherlock Holmes in an intriguing puzzle book fomat.  This one is full of cryptograms.  They are challenging and seem suitable for anyone from a middle school aged child to an adult.  Get this book, get out your pencil, step away from the computer and solve!  They are a great distraction.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

As a child I adored Sherlock Holmes and also enjoyed all sorts of brain-challenging mental puzzles. This cool Series combines both of those delights, encouraging readers to assist Dr. Watson while also following clues discovered by Holmes, the Great Detective.

Whoa. These are cool. I can think of middle schoolers at my library that would devour these, but adults would enjoy this too. Probably wouldn't purchase for the library collection per se, but could definitely use as a professional resource when creating escape rooms. If I tried to circulate this one, it would just come back with tons of writing. Kind of wish it had some solving spaces or larger margin space for you to do calculations. Not sure what the quality of the publication will be, just like a Dell puzzlebook or something sturdy?
