This book is so much fun! As a kid who always loved logic puzzles this is right up my alley. This book has a hundred mysteries for you to solve and they get progressively harder as you go. There are hints towards the back and at the very back are the answers. While good on kindle this is definitely a book I would prefer a physical copy of, and have a notebook nearby to be able to reason through my thoughts to solve the mysteries. If you like puzzles, especially logic puzzles, this is a fantastic book for you!

I love logic puzzles so it was easy to love this book. As an educator, I often look for ways to get my students to read carefully, look for context clues, find evidence to support understanding, etc.; logic puzzles are the perfect "hook". And who doesn't love a mystery? I will be recommending this book as a resource for teachers in my district.

I have played Murdle on their website so I’m so excited to get my hands on the book format.

Each logic puzzle is easy to follow but challenging in its own right. I have had so much fun solving the clues to continue developing the story.

I've been playing this game online every day and really enjoy the fun logic puzzles. I love that each logic puzzle is actually a mini murder mystery to solve and includes humor in the crime's backstory and in the clues and evidence. I found that the puzzles don't really work well in the ebook format. I was so excited to see a book was coming out with Murdle puzzles. I  received an e-book version and not everything was displayed as clearly as I'm sure it will be in the print version.

The book consists of 100 mystery puzzles of varying levels of difficulty- 25 Elementary, 25 Medium, 25 Hard boiled, and 25 "impossible". As in the online version, there is one hint for each mystery which is included at the back of the book. The hints are followed by the solution with the identity of the murderer, the weapon, the location and the motive when applicable for each puzzle. I enjoy solving these unique logic puzzles and look forward to when the print version of the book is released which will be easier to work with than the electronic version.

I received an advance copy of this ebook at no cost from NetGalley and St. Martin's Press, but my review is voluntary and unbiased.

A fun twist to murder mysteries and puzzles! I had not heard of Murdle prior to this book, but it’s the new wordle and I can’t wait complete daily! Looking forward to the hard cover of this puzzle book.

Thank you, Netgalley and St. Martin's Press, for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is SO fun. Murdle has been a favorite game for a while and I'm so excited for a print version! The puzzles range in difficulty, which is nice. It is hard to complete these puzzles on an e-reader because you can't write in the book, so I will def be getting a paper copy!

I love logic puzzles, I have for years. So when I discovered Murdle I was absolutely thrilled!

What's unique about Murdle that I enjoy is the actual cards. In typical logic puzzles there are straightforward clues and the chart, however Murdle is a bit more complex. Each card has details about the character, weapon, location, or motive, and those details are interwoven in the clues. This makes it a bit more of a fun and interactive challenge which I really enjoy.

I do my Murdle daily, and when I found out there was going to be a book I pre-ordered immediately. I'm trying to resist doing too many of the puzzles in this e-galley so I can enjoy all of the fun in June when it arrives, but it is not easy holding back!

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review. Excited for June!

This. Is. So. Much. Fun.

I didn’t know about the online game before getting this ARC (thanks NetGalley and St. Martin’s!) but now I think I’m obsessed, I love puzzles in general but hadn’t always been into murder mystery/true crime type stuff, but this was too fun not to love and I’m sure folks who are into those things will love it too.

This was great fun! I wasn't aware this was only a sampler when I requested it, but just the sample of puzzles were great and I can't wait to purchase the full book.

It’s like Wordle meets logic puzzles meets Clue! A bunch of fun logic puzzles with cute clues made for murder mystery fans!

I do like the idea of this book. I just found it hard to navigate in my e-reader. I'd love to see the finished hard copy. I love these types of books.
