Love this series! Great for long journeys or to use at school for filler activities.
Would also make a great gift for puzzle fans!


Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy of this book in exchange for my feedback.

This was more fun than the other Sherlock Holmes one. It still wasn't quite what I was expecting but I did enjoy doing some of them.

This book is a great companion to the Sherlock Holmes Lateral Thinking Puzzles book, especially for younger readers with more malleable minds. My cubs enjoyed it immensely. Not me, as much, due to a neurologic issue that made trying to process jumbled visuals overwhelming and headache inducing. We did he up getting a hardcopy of this book as well :)

Good for those who do like visual puzzles - basically the same 3 or 4 types of puzzles repeated with different images. Good there is answers at back. can be great for teachers or adult s who want to improve their brain.

My second review of puzzle books in this series. I have to admit that I didn't enjoy this book as much as the other one (Lateral Brain Teasers). Although I found them to be fun at first, I don't think there is a huge amount of variety in the puzzles themselves towards the end. I do think it is a good book to leave on the coffee table and flip open to random pages once in a while though!

I really wanted to like this book...and it might have been easier if the pictures were "clearer." I tired out quickly of trying to figure these out.

Thank you to NetGalley for letting me review this puzzle book. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t my cup of tea. I do love a good puzzle book but I guess I am more of a word puzzle lover. It could be great for a person who enjoys visual puzzles though.

I had hoped this would be more looking for clues or what didn't fit. Instead it was very repetitive which square is the wrong way round. Very disappointed.

This book is full of visual/logic puzzles inspired by the cases of Sherlock Holmes. This would be a fun book to have in the classroom for kids who need a challenge, or for anyone who just wants to give their brain a workout!

These puzzles would be great for a real Sherlock Holmes fan who likes to figure out things from the clues given. For me it was a bit to difficult to work on electronically.

These puzzles are great fun! The visual aspect to the puzzles was very well done and not a style I’ve seen before. They started off fairly straight forward and I naively thought they’d all be of a similar level – thankfully, I was wrong. The increase in difficulty was excellent and certainly kept me engaged throughout, and for any that I was really stuck on - the answers are all available at the end.

I particularly liked the references to actual Sherlock Holmes cases as created by the wonderful Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

If you enjoy puzzles that are that little bit different, then this is a book for you. I think it would be pf particular interest to those who also enjoy jigsaw puzzles. With 100 puzzles it’ll definitely keep you occupied.

Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Wellfleet Press and NetGalley UK for the review copy.

I have been in love with this book series ever since I started it. I love puzzles, and right now, they are the difference between sane and not during the pandemic. These puzzles are excellent because they are quick. Also, some people are far better at visual puzzles than word puzzles and I think that this is an excellent book for a family with children who are visual learners. You can show them the puzzle and help them to figure it out and if you try one that is too hard for them, you don't have to show them.

This is the type of book I would of loved as a kid, even if I couldn't solve the puzzles, because I would have to reason out the explanation to figure it out. I find that makes an excellent learning technique and makes your mind whip-crack sharp. I highly recommend these books to everyone.

NOTE: I do NOT recommend this book as an e-book. This book is meant to be flipped from the front to the answers in the back over and over again and scrolling to and fro for wasn't nearly as fun (and more time consuming). Take my word, this is definitely a hard copy purchase.

We ran through these challenges after considering some of the lateral brain teasers, in the same series.
We have thoroughly enjoyed challenging ourselves to think logically through visual cues.
The entire book is made up of segmented images and you are asked to work out what the odd one out is, and why?
I still have some challenges to complete but I'm looking forward to continuing on so I can enjoy each test as it comes.
I'm looking hopefully forward to more of these books!

It was fun to read and solve those puzzles. I slightly expected something different though but it was still good enough. Many of those puzzles were easy and predictable where some were very challenging.

There are a lot of visual puzzles on the Sherlock Holmes theme in this ebook. Some of these puzzles are easy, but not all. Some turned out to be quite challenging. It can be good entertainment during breaks or for lazy Sunday afternoons. I would say this one is best as a printed book because of the solutions that are at the back of the book. But it is useful as an ebook too.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this! All opinions are my own.

Great puzzle book, especially as I like logic puzzles. Some were very easy but then some became much harder to see all the issues. They are all of the same ilk and so if you did not like visual problems then ths is not a book for you. I would have preferred some variety in testing my visual skills but I still loved these as they are.
I consider that this would be better as a hard back as I had to keep going to the back to see if I had missed anything in my deductions. If it is to remain a digital issue than perhaps at the end of each puzzle a link to the solution could be given to ease the annoyance of scrolling down to the last pages each time.
Personal preference wouold be for it to remain as digital issue with lins to the solutions as then it would make a fantastic travel book to keep travellers amused at airports, stations etc without having to worry about weight or losing the book somewhere.

Well, this book certainly gave me an excuse to spend an enjoyable few hours tickling my brain!

Some of these visual puzzles are simple and just when you think you could apply for Watson’s job, the next puzzle throws you a curveball and gets you scratching your head.

Definitely a fun way to spend the evening.

This is a puzzle book with 100 similar visual puzzles in it. Its not what I was expecting having read the info on the book. I thought there would be assorted styles of puzzle, however they are all the same type just getting progressively harder as you go through the book.

I felt I would like it better as a hard copy rather than the digital edition. This is due to the solutions being at the end hand having to scroll all the way to see if you had solved them right.

A great stocking filler for any budding Sherlock Holmes fan with super artwork, just sadly not for me hence the 3 stars.

Thanks to Netgalley and Wellfleet Press for the Arc. My review is my own opinion.

Do you do well on the IQ test questions that are picking the correct unfolded box? If so, you are in luck! Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Visual Puzzles has a hundred visual puzzles that use the same skill, the ability to move images around in your mind’s eye.

I love the unfolded box puzzles. But these are even more fun! This is the first Sherlock Holmes Puzzle book where I did better than 90% correct. The first few puzzles are relatively easy. However, the challenge becomes greater the further you dive into the book. Until puzzle 10, the picture squares are aligned to a grid. But number 10 forces your mind to align them rather than twisting the individual picture tiles around. Number 11 just gobsmacked me. It is very original. By the time I got to puzzle 100, the puzzles seemed easy again. I think my brain really was trained.

I really enjoyed Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Visual Puzzles. If you are ready for entertainment that is also educational, look no further. Plus no math, reading, or logic puzzle grids required! 5 stars and a favorite.

Thanks to Wellfleet Press, Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Hmmm… This I think has to be called a success, it was just that the puzzles were of limited variety and not really to my taste. At least it is definitely Holmes-themed, whereas other less reputable books just dump Conan Doyle's character names on the cover and that's that. What we have is a hundred full-colour, old-fashioned illustrations to Holmesian themes, all tessellated with a four by four grid, then edited. So four of the sixteen segments will have swivelled round, and the answer might rely on which one of the four was done so anticlockwise; three will be shifted following one directional rule and the fourth a different rule; and so on. The book certainly has a decent progression in difficulty, but beyond a few different kinds of test (five horizontal slivers as opposed to the grid, or just five sections highlighted for different reasons) I didn't find too much to enliven this sufficiently for my tastes. Also, by the time the grid pieces had greatly grown in number, with the attendant rise in difficulty, the urge was to just cut out the bits and play – something not possible with tests on both sides of the page. Once again, then, nothing majorly wrong with this book that does what a lot of puzzle fans would wish it to, but I found a compendium of this one kind of IQ test a bit too limited.
