Murdle is the first volume in a series of thematic mystery puzzle books by G.T. Karber. Released 13th June 2023 by Macmillan on their St. Martin's Griffin imprint, it's 384 pages and is available in paperback format. 

The author does a good job of introducing a sample puzzle and how to use a solving grid with the given clues to solve the puzzles. The writing is humorous (but not overly so), and understandable. The puzzles themselves are arranged in chapters by difficulty. All solutions are included in the back of the book.

They're creatively arranged and engaging. Graphically, the layout is easy to understand and appealing, with small margin art scattered throughout (magnifying glass, profiles for the characters, locations, etc). 

Four stars. For home use and gifting. Due to the one-use nature and marking of the book, it's probably not a good choice for public or school library use.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
