Owen ★★★★★

I’m usually a passive reader, but this book sucked me right in—solving the cases alongside Medea Tho made me feel like I was actually part of the story. The witty tone keeps it light even when you're stuck on a tricky clue.

Robert ★★★★★

Getting to play sidekick instead of the main detective felt refreshing, and the puzzles are tough enough to make you feel like a real sleuth when you crack them. I finished it in two evenings, completely hooked by the witty setup and the way each clue builds on the last.

Christopher ★★★★★

The puzzles in this book are clever enough that I actually felt like a detective, and the sidekick framing makes it easy to jump right in. Finished three cases on my first sitting.
