Product Description

From the Manufacturer

John Valdez died over his morning cappuccino. Was the jolt too much for his heart or did someone add a little favor to his brew? The object of this murder mystery puzzle series is to read the story, assemble the two puzzles and solve the mystery.

Product Description

From the Alphabet Murder Puzzle Series, this jigsaw combines grueling puzzling with a murder mystery. First you must assemble two different 500 piece puzzles of before and after crime scenes. To preserve the mystery, no actual puzzle art is shown on or in the box. But that's not all-the puzzle pieces for both puzzles are in the same bag! After you complete the puzzles, you read a mystery booklet and, using the evidence provided in the jigsaw puzzles, you solve the baffling murder mystery. Two 13 x 19 puzzles.

This was my least favorite, although I've only put together A, E, and F. The pictures for the 2 puzzles were colorful and different, which made distinguishing them a bit easier, but not too easy. The crime scene was the hardest of the 2 puzzles. The mystery that went with them was very funny, with lots of coffee based puns. It was not a hard case to solve with a few key bits of puzzle info to help.

It only took me about 7 hours to put both puzzles together and then solve the mystery.

I gave this puzzle to my twenty year old puzzle fanatic daughter and she loved it! She has always wanted one of these "puzzles within a puzzle" and this one did not disappoint. In fact, I think it was more challenging than she expected! I'd purchase another one in the series for her birthday.

I love jigsaw puzzles - and this series is great. With no picture, it makes it challenging, even though each puzzle has only 500 pieces. And it's fun to try to figure out "who dun it"!
