Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Math & Logic Games is is one of a new series of puzzle books for all ages. Due out 26th May from Quarto on their Wellfleet Press imprint, it's 128 pages and will be available in paperback format.
The Sherlock Holmes Puzzle series includes visual puzzles, brain teasers, math and logic puzzles and more, but this volume contains mostly cipher puzzles of all sorts (and not specifically math and logic puzzles). The puzzles are arranged in random order of difficulty as far as I can see (there are some I haven't managed yet).
The puzzles are accompanied by fun line drawings and hints/tips. (I found some of the instructions somewhat unclear). The solutions are included in the back of the book.
Really well done puzzles with tie-ins to the great detective himself.
Four stars. Lots of interesting puzzles to be found here.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
