Title: The Puzzle Master
Author: Danielle Trussoni
Genre: mystery
Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.
This book was a ton of fun. Mike sustained a head injury as a teenager, which unlocked his brain, and he can now see puzzles, do extensive math, and has an eidetic memory. He spends most of his time creating puzzles for newspapers. However, when a convicted murderer demands to speak with him, he’s drawn into a puzzle he’s never seen before.
Jess Price was convicted of murdering her ex-boyfriend, but she claims she is innocent. When Mike meets her, she gives him a puzzle he cannot solve. But that puzzle is the key to understanding what happened to her. It happens to be the God Puzzle, created centuries earlier. And the story of whose hands that puzzle got into is pretty crazy.
I really enjoyed this book, even though math and puzzles aren’t my thing. The author did a great job of not leaving me behind in the explanations. Mike is a fun character, and I look forward to the sequel.
Pleasant Nights
