Praise for Puzzling Cases Volume 1:
“Paul Elgood’s Murder Board Mysteries are aimed at age 12 plus readers, and children will surely love posers with such title as The Puzzling Case of the Toxic Easter Bunny, The Puzzling Case of Ken the Fish and The Not so Puzzling Case of the Savage Squirrel.
Each case comprises four suspects, four locations, four motives and four weapons. The puzzler then receives four clues, four hints and four statements to help solve the mystery. Since the book is clearly aimed mainly at teenagers and young adults, I am relieved to be able to say that I was able to pinpoint the villains each time without too much trouble. This would be a fun game played alone or in a group.”
