It's a lot of fun, but there are mistakes
This was a gift. The recipient is enjoying playing it. However, in just the first chapter, there are three mistakes. Puzzle books must be rigorously proofread, because mistakes ruin the game. Without giving away the correct answers, there is a mistake in Puzzle 4, page 13, a mistake in Puzzle 6, page 15, and a mistake in Puzzle 12, page 21. There are answers in the back of the book, but you shouldn't have to look to be able to solve the puzzle, and you do.So, it's fun, but not carefully proofread. We couldn't find anything on the website that would allow for convenient contact of the publisher.

Finally...a unique puzzle book!
This a refreshing and unique puzzle book, especially for Sherlock Holmes fans! It's a great to go through 6 of Doyle's classic mysteries while solving puzzles. The book appearance is of excellent quality with much attention to detail. The text can get cheesy at times but the puzzles are the primary feature for this book. The tearable map used for each story is a nice touch. If you want a "not your ordinary" puzzle book then this is a great choice.

Disappointed by mistakes in it
Entertaining but there are mistakes in it that take some of the fun out of it.

Fun book/game
Not very hard. But fun to work puzzles. A little disappointing that you don't have to get the answers right in order to proceed. Takes the challenge out of it. But enjoyable all the same.

The Kind of Book That You Wish You Had Written
The puzzles are very challenging, absorbing, and fun.

Right On Target
I bought this as a birthday gift for my sister-in-law who has actually taken a course in murder mysteries at Oxford University. Since she really enjoys puzzles, I anticipate that she will love this book.

not all clues bring to answers and typo mistakes
it's nice but there are a few typo mistakes which spoil the game because one of the clues is finding the typos done on purpose, but there are some who are just mistakes. Not all the stories are fun, in some the clues bring you to the answer, in some the clues have nothing to do with the story. It could have been much better, but it's still nice.

Sherlock Holmes
This is a fun book for anyone interested in Sherlock Holmes. Although easy, itβs still a good read.

Great book
Very nice book, hardback, looks the part, puzzles a bit odd (and some very easy) but definitely the part for a sherlock holmes puzzle lover :)

We are enjoying this book and it's fun solving the puzzles and mysteries
We are enjoying this book and it's fun solving the puzzles and mysteries. Not too difficult but not too easy either. Interesting facts to learn also.

Nice book.But collectors may need two...
Bought as a gift for a Sherlock Holmes collector. It was well received, but did leave a dilemma on how to do the puzzles without damaging the spine.
