Reviews for Merry Murdle: THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES

'Combines Agatha Christie-style storytelling with interactive logic puzzles... G. T. Karber writes with a touch of old-world Poirot grandeur, but with playful misdirection... It's clever, yes, but it's Karber's storytelling that makes it so witty: a narrative that demands deduction, not just speed'
