Book Review

M.Garand’s “Murdoku” throws Sudoku, logic puzzles, and murder mysteries into one wonderfully addictive mix. Across 80 colourful crime scenes—from bakeries and casinos to farms and opera houses—you’ll have to connect the clues, place suspects and objects on the grid, locate the victim, and, most importantly, catch the killer.

The cases start friendly enough, luring you in with their seemingly simple clues. But don’t be fooled. As you progress, the puzzles get tougher, and suddenly that innocent-looking grid starts feeling like a crime scene of its own. Every clue counts, and one careless assumption can send your investigation completely off track.

What makes “Murdoku“ so much fun is that it turns logic into a game. There are no long chapters to wade through, no complicated rules to memorise, and no detective to think for you. Instead, you get the satisfaction of piecing together a mystery one clue at a time. The colourful layouts add to the fun and make the book feel more like a game than a traditional puzzle collection.

If you’re expecting Agatha Christie-style twists and dramatic interrogations, you might find the storylines a little thin. But that isn’t really the point. “Murdoku” is about the joy of figuring things out—and the little rush you get when all the clues finally click into place.
For Sudoku fans, mystery buffs, puzzle addicts, and anyone who thinks “just one more puzzle” is a perfectly reasonable way to spend an afternoon.
