I am having a hard time reviewing this book because I tried reading it on kindle and it was very challenging with the formatting. There were no images and all the words were jumbled together. I also tried to download the file, and it didn't work. It says I could access through my netgalley app but I couldn't figure out how to do that. I imagine the print version will not have these issues though.

BUT, I have done Murdle puzzles online and I adore them. I really brings me back to my childhood when I would do logic puzzles with my mom. Love the game Clue, so it's like all the good things wrapped into one.

This is a fun book for a murder mystery puzzler. Perfect for an armchair detective to solve a series of murder mysteries. Start out at the elementary level, move onto medium level then onto hard-boil level and then onto impossible. Answer the questions on whodunit how, when and why. Examine the clues, interview the witnesses, and use the power of deduction to complete the grid and catch the culprit. Packed with illustrations, codes, and maps, and brimming with wit and intrigue, Volume 1 is the must-have detective casebook for the secret sleuth in everyone. If you like puzzles, then you would love a hard back copy of this book to keep on hand for a rainy day experience.

An Absolute Blast For Mystery Lovers
A bit of a cross between 5 Minute Mysteries and a game of Clue, the brief synopsis and collection of clues is laid out before you, so you can channel your inner Sherlock.

I honestly love playing Murdle, but the formatting on this is not great for kindle. Not the author's fault, obviously.
Definitely pick up a copy if you're looking for something puzzling - just stick to a physical format.

I wasn't aware of Murdle until I saw this and now I'm hooked! I want to travel just so I can solve these on the plane! Thank you so much to St. Martin's Press (St. Martin's Griffin) for the ARC of this one! I can't wait to get a copy when it comes out!

This is so fun! Grab a glass of wine and a few of your closest friends before you sit back and dive into solving these mysteries!

I had requested a physical copy of this book but was sent a digital one. I appreciate the complimentary copy, but I found it unreadable. All the pictures were black boxes, the formatting was all over the place, and trying to read and solve the riddles was impossible on my kindle app. So I don’t have a good review for this one, except to say that digital arcs may not be the best route for this type of book.
Thanks for the opportunity.

I want to give feedback, but will not be posting this review on GoodReads or Amazon. As I feel it doesn't accurately reflect the puzzle/content.

I downloaded this via Kindle; and all the images/logic grids are not viewable. (Honestly, I am not very good at creating my own grids). So this was disappointing and made the book more frustrating than fun...and more time consuming.

Here's the thing...I didn't know murdle was a website. I am now addicted to Murdle and really want to get a copy of the book to enjoy.

I tried to download via the NetGalley app but my Mac does not support those document/apps needed for the particular document ending. It got to the point where after an hour and a half of downloading apps to try and view the document....it just wasn't worth it.

Needs to revamp the kindle edition or just not make it available via kindle.

I was really looking forward to this book, but it was a dud for me because of the above.

I’m a huge fan of the daily game, and I absolutely loved solving these puzzles! Murdle is so fun and witty, it’s hard not to be addicted!

I loved this murder mystery puzzle book! It is basically like Clue where you have to find the who, where, and with what in each puzzle. You are given a few clues and by process of elimination you can figure it out! In each puzzle you are given a blank chart to help you cross out the suspects.l and keep track of everything. As you get farther in the book, the mysteries get harder. This is a perfect way to pass the time. I love logical puzzles. I would recommend to everyone!

This is so much fun and has become a daily team bonding exercise for my coworkers and me in our shared office space. Would make an excellent gift for fans of true crime and puzzles. Really enjoy how cozy the cases are the descriptions of the suspects, locations, and weapons are delightful.

Oh my gosh… I LOVE this and the idea behind it! So much fun! Pre-ordered a copy also and can’t wait for the release in June. I won’t spoil alllll of the fun now. Perfect gift for mystery and/or puzzle lovers in your life!

Thank you so much to SMP, the author, and NetGalley for access to the advance copy!

I received this on Friday and have spent the last 5 days or so working through the puzzles. I’ve finished a little over half so far. They do get progressively harder but are not impossible. There is a little bit of a storyline and you get some more of the story after checking the answer. I chose to work on the puzzles in batches only checking the answers after 6 or so puzzles so that I didn’t accidentally see the answer for the next Murdle. Because of this, I didn’t really follow the storyline but I don’t feel like it diminished my experience at all! Can’t wait for volumes 2 & 3!

I've always loved logic puzzles, so combining those with my love of thrillers and true crime was so fun! I completed a couple of the puzzles and can't wait to get the physical copy to finish the rest! Its the perfect activity to do while enjoying the sunshine on my balcony on those warm summer mornings.

Do you love the game of Clue? 🕵🏼‍♂️

Does family game night not come frequently enough for you?? 🧩

This book contains 100 mysteries which can be solved using LOGIC, SKILL and the power of DEDUCTION, created by G.T. Garber, the creator of the popular online daily mystery game called MURDLE.

STUDY the list of suspects, weapons and locations and read the clues carefully…then determine whodunnit with what weapon and where…(like in the board game!)

You can solve these on your own or join the Detective Club at Murdle.com to solve these with others!

They start out at the ELEMENTARY level, and gradually get harder, (Impossible??) and the first mystery is broken down for you, using a grid, so that you understand how to go about solving the others.

What a great stocking stuffer for the amateur detectives in your family!🕵🏼‍♂️🕵️‍♀️🕵🏾

I know that this book will be keeping me busy for quite awhile, as it is one to savor and not rush through! It sounds like FUN, and I am looking forward to sharpening my skills!!

Expected Publication date of this FIRST EDITION airs June 13, 2023.

Thank You to the Publisher for the gifted copy!

If you enjoy the daily Murdle online (or similar brain teasers), you'll enjoy this book. I do wish the sampler given here had given the hints and answers to the selected Murdles (from what I can tell, the hints and answers sections are just the actual first few pages of each section in the book, but this arc gives you a couple of murdles from each difficulty level, skipping around the book, so you're not given the hints or answers to the harder murdles). But that's a quibble with this sampler and not with the book itself. I am very much looking forward to treating myself to this when it's published.

UPDATE 4/25/23: I received an email the other day that they have updated the ARC. I just downloaded it and am skimming over it; I believe it is now the full book rather than a sampler, which makes it much nicer for being able to use the hints and check my answers. Thank you very much to the author and publisher for making it available this way.

Super fun puzzles, some easier to solve and some really tricky! I recommend downloading the pdf and filling it out that way. The graphics are better and it's fun to write out the answers!

I love logic puzzles and Murdle has over 100 elementary to impossible mysteries to solve using your logic, skill and the power of deduction. The author also has online puzzles for you to solve.

I didn't complete the book obviously 🤣 I'm not that fast, but I've been having fun solving these on my down time. If you also enjoy these types of puzzles, check it out!

This book has been SO MUCH FUN! It is so wonderfully put together and I'm glad I downloaded the PDF version because I didn't realize how much better the formatting would be compared to the Kindle version (which was missing all the images and graphics).

My husband and I normally do a crossword puzzle together every evening, and we were looking for a little variety in our puzzle routine -- enter Murdle. It's been such a great activity for us. I can't wait to purchase a copy of the book to gift to my dad once it releases in June. I originally grew up doing logic puzzles with him, and he's the one who really fostered my love for them. I know he's going to love it, too!

I'm glad I get to see this book early, but the netgalley formatting left quite many things out, like graphics, pictures etc to make it easier and more fun to solve. Still can't wait for my copy to show so I can spend some time solving these puzzles.
