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.

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.

This is book and not puzzle
I thought this was a puzzle that after completion you would have to solve a case. Not a book. This just proves that amazon search features dont produce correct results

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.
