This was the most fun book I've ever read. I really enjoyed the plot and "Clue" feel to this book. The clues, the choose your own adventure scenes, and the fact that there is an email that will send you clues if you need them (and pretty much immediately) Y'all should see my pages of notes from trying to figure out the puzzles. I only wish I had the book in physical form to write, and doodle, and easily flip back and forth to information I needed. Definitely would recommend this book, especially a physical copy!

I thought this book was clever and I love the puzzles. I think reading the physical copy is easier than the Kindle version, but other than that I enjoyed it.

Wow this was so fun! What a unique book where the reader gets to play along. Talk about an immersive story! This book gives Knives Out vibes (which is one of my favorites). I cannot recommend this book enough, loved it!

A Delightful Mystery for Puzzle Lovers!

Destiny Whipp, a former child prodigy, has spent years in self-imposed isolation, preferring the comfort of her home to the unpredictability of the outside world. But in A Most Puzzling Murder, her quiet life takes a sharp turn when she receives an unexpected invitation for a job she doesn’t remember applying for—family historian for the Scuffmore family, a name she’s never even heard before.

Ever the puzzle enthusiast, Destiny quickly deciphers the hidden message in the invitation and, intrigued, decides to take a leap of faith. Her journey leads her to the mysterious and remote Eerie Island, where she finds herself drawn into a thrilling web of riddles, logic games, and even choose-your-own-adventure twists that allow the reader to take part in solving the mystery. As she pieces together the truth behind a shocking murder, Destiny also begins to unravel the secrets of her own past.

The best part? Readers who get stumped on a puzzle can email for hints, ensuring the experience remains engaging and fun rather than frustrating. With its clever puzzles, immersive storyline, and interactive elements, A Most Puzzling Murder is a wildly entertaining read for mystery lovers, puzzle solvers, and adventure seekers alike.

A brilliant blend of mystery and brain-teasing fun—don’t miss it!

What an absolute joy of a book. It is a mystery, but Marais added some fun puzzles for the read to play along with. You could opt to email for an additional hint on the puzzle, or just flip to the coordinating page for the answer. I admit I didn't get the first puzzle, but after that I was ready for the rest of them. It also had some interesting "choose your own adventure" thought experiments as well. It was a very fun read and I couldn't put it down. I really hope Marais does more in this vein! Now I need to go check out her other work.
