5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful indulgence for the mystery/puzzle fan, March 7, 2005

Verna Suit (Silver Spring, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Detecta-Crostics: Puzzles of Mystery (Paperback)

If you're a mystery fan and like to do puzzles, you'll love DETECTA-CROSTICS! A whole book of word puzzles featuring your favorite fiction genre is a delicious treat. When my copy of DETECTA-CROSTICS came in the mail I grabbed a pencil and didn't move from my chair for the next three hours.

The 39 puzzles are hybrid-mixes of mystery trivia quiz, acrostics, anagrams, and various other wordgames. Puzzle themes cover the mystery spectrum: Agatha Christie, spy mysteries, horse themes, medieval settings, lesser-known vintage writers, etc. The challenge level varies depending on how familiar you are with a particular sub-genre. Some questions about unfamiliar books can be answered through logic and your store of general knowledge. For others, the extensive explanations on the answer pages prove fascinating reading all by themselves.

If you aren't a puzzle person yourself, DETECTA-CROSTICS would make a wonderful gift for a puzzle-solving friend who is also a mystery fan.

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Detecta-Crostics: Puzzles of Mystery (Paperback)

I found that Detecta-Crostics would a mystery lover or anyone whom likes
crostics. The puzzles and instructions are easy to understand but require a bit of detective work in solving them. The book is different from anything else I've seen-it was certainly worth purchasing.Nancy Vanstone.
