Murdle: The School of Mystery
The fourth entry in G. T. Karber's Sunday Times bestselling Murdle series brings its signature blend of logic puzzles and whodunnit drama to the hallowed grounds of Deduction College. Janice Hallett has called it 'utterly addictive', and Richard Osman declared it 'an absolute phenomenon'. High praise, and frankly, it's earned. Freshman Logico arrives on campus with sharp instincts and ambitions to match, only to find that the school harbours far darker goings-on than a gruelling academic timetable. A string of suspicious deaths. Robed figures lurking in underground passages. Whispers of a clandestine society. Oh, and someone still hasn't answered for the death of Lord Graystone, the college's own founder. Between navigating fractious student alliances, a ruthless election campaign, and trials for the varsity chessboxing team (yes, really), Logico has rather a lot on his plate. His enigmatic fellow student Irratino is on hand to help, which is fortunate, because the puzzles here demand genuine concentration. Readers work through deduction grids, interview suspects, and sift clues, with a larger, overarching mystery waiting for those who complete every challenge. The book is generously illustrated and comes loaded with codes and maps that give it a satisfying tactile quality. It's witty, inventive, and genuinely tricky in places. Whether you're a seasoned puzzle enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this is exactly the sort of book you'll find yourself sneaking back to at odd hours. Your little grey cells will thank you.
