Customer Reviews (4.7 / 5 · 3 reviews)

Jacob ★★★★★

I burned through the first mystery in one sitting — being Medea's sidekick makes you actually read the clues instead of just guessing. The puzzles are clever without being pretentious, and I love that the answers are hidden in the back so you can't cheat.

Hazel O. ★★★★★

Finally, a puzzle book that makes you feel clever without being impossible — I’m halfway through and loving the clever nods to classic mysteries. The interactive format where you actually help solve the case adds a fresh twist.

Emma ★★★★☆

I love the twist of being the sidekick instead of the detective—it makes the puzzles feel fresh. My only small gripe is that a few of the clues felt a bit too obvious, but it’s still a clever, fun read.
