Murder Most Puzzling: Twenty Mysterious Cases to Solve

We love the game clue, so I’m always looking for books to read with my 10 and 8 year old. It’s the perfect family bedtime read - we read the stories together and try to solve the mysteries! I love the dark and scary old-fashioned artwork too - beautifully done!! I wish they made more!! Can’t find anything like it - very unique.

This was a great birthday gift! So much fun and when they’re done solving everything it can be passed on.

I buy it for a gift and it was great. :)

If you’re seeking a real whodunnit that demands tedious attention to detail and complicated logistical skills, this isn’t for you.However, a sweet and gorgeously illustrated book of thoughtful premises and novice-friendly mysteries is what this book offers. Perfect for a cozy afternoon or reading with a 13+ child.Yes, the illustrations might make the solutions a bit harder to come to an independent conclusion, but the clues in the appendix help guide the reader to understand the author’s artistic method. The solutions that may seem obvious to some do not negate the fun others might enjoy searching for answers.I have thoroughly enjoyed this and will seek other works from this author. Lighthearted books like this are in short supply, and a wonderful distraction.

Not every mystery in this is enjoyable, but it brought lots of entertainment to my family to flip through over Christmas. I think it was fun and impressive that someone came up with each unique mystery, even if some leave you annoyed once you read the answer :)
