This is the third Murdle book that I have solved, and I am obsessed with these murder mysteries. Every time I solve a case, I feel like a true detective.
There are 100 puzzles to solve, and they are split into four degrees of difficulty: elementary, occult medium, hard boiled, and impossible.
As you progress through the book, the puzzles become more challenging, and that’s the beauty of them. If you’re stuck then you can find a hint to each puzzle at the end of the book.
In this book we follow Logico and Irratino as they are sent all over the world to find a new site for TekTopia, which right now is a virtual community.
I cannot wait for the next instalment of these puzzles! Like I said before, I am obsessed.

Do you murdle, murdle, suduko or jigsaw? What's your puzzle of choice?
Murdle is een uitgave van de onderzoeksdossiers van de beste detective ter wereld, Deductive Logico. Dit is geen boek met verhalen, maar in dit boek staan 71 raadsels die je moet oplossen. Aan het begin van het boek wordt uitgebreid met een voorbeeld doorgenomen hoe de raadsels werken en hoe je deze oplost. Je hebt er niet veel voor nodig, een potlood (en een gum is soms ook erg handig heb ik gemerkt) en je hersenen zijn voldoende.
Het boek is opgedeeld in vier moeilijkheidsgraden: eenvoudige raadsels, alleen voor ingewijden, voor doorgewinterde speurneuzen en aartsmoeilijk.Bij iedere puzzel is het de bedoeling dat je erachter komt wie de moord heeft gepleegd, met wat dit is gebeurd en waar dit is gebeurd. Vanaf moeilijkheidsgraad 3 (voor doorgewinterde speurneuzen) komt er nog een vierde vraag bij die je bij ieder raadsel moet beantwoorden. Mocht je er niet uitkomen staat er achterin het boek een hint bij ieder raadsel en daarna natuurlijk de oplossingen!
Op de achterkant van het boek staat ‘Cluedo meets mastermind in een puzzelboek� en daar kan ik het alleen maar mee eens zijn! Ik ben gek op puzzelen en spelletjes en dit boek is dan ook een boek dat op mijn lijf geschreven is. Toen het binnenkwam dook ik er meteen in en inmiddels ben ik alveel puzzels verder. Wat was het motief van de moord? Waarmee is de moord gepleegd? En wie is de dader? waren vragen die de afgelopen periode vaak in mijn hoofd opkwamen. Ik ben niet de enige die gek is op dit puzzelboek, regelmatig spot ik hem bij iemand anders in de hand die een van de raadsels aan het oplossen is.
Murdle is een perfect boek voor iedere puzzel liefhebber. Met de Kerstdagen nog in het vooruitzicht is dit iets dat eigenlijk niet mag ontbreken onder de boom!
From a puzzle perspective, very enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the next book. From a story perspective, less so (probably 4* for puzzles but story pulled it down)
The puzzles in the third MURDLE book were great logical puzzles again (though a few of the clues required a specific thinking way to get in the final section, which was frustrating at times.) The overall story for this third instalment felt weaker than the previous two book. The major mystery of MORIARTY wasn't as engaging or as satisfying as that in MURDLE 1 (which was such a good pay off). Here, MORIARTY felt like it didn't appear until the fourth and final part, and even then was in the backseat. The story line itself wasn't as compelling as the chaos of revolution and all the historical lies in MURDLE 2.
Murdle: Even More Killer Puzzles was a fun and adventurous read. Although there were not as many plot twists in this book as in the first two books, this book still had some shocking turns and left us on quite the cliffhanger!
Sadly, I didn't enjoy the storyline for Murdle: Even More Killer Puzzles as much as I did in the first two books; however, it was still just as addictive!
I cannot wait until Murdle number four, I want to know what is next for Logico and Irratino!
This was just as charming as the first two volumes, a story with shallow depth but presented through a series of really fun logic puzzles. I'm knocking a star off because many of the "hints" at the back of the book were restatements of clues already given in the puzzle, which defeats the purpose of having a hint at all. Also the hint for puzzle 76 had an error in it that completely contradicted the puzzle solution. They could use a more thorough editor for the puzzle clues and solutions.
I love this series and had a lot of fun with this, but something about this edition was just a little less engaging than the other two. The other volumes I finished in one or two days, but this one took me nearly a week -- not because it's harder, just because I wasn't as invested in the overall narrative. Not sure exactly what it was. I'll still be pre-ordering the next book, though!
Another fun collection of puzzles featuring Logico. Some of the clues really don't make sense, though, eg, in puzzle 100, a clue is Apricot is where Logico is shouting. But nowhere in the text does it say Logico is shouting or where he is!
An impulsive purchase at a local bookstore that I regret. This is basically a complication of zebra puzzles. (Brainzilla has better ones.) The table thing it taught readers to use is redundant -- I don't think I've acquired any skills from this and I don't feel sufficiently challenged.
Not as challenging as volumes 1 and 2 and someone needs to do a better job of editing. Puzzles 70 and 76 both have very clear contradictions between a stated clue and then the presented solution!
Definitely not as well edited, but mostly in subtle ways. Still a fun book of logic puzzles masquerading as plot, with some humorous and cute buttons at the end.
