The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers
Reviewed on 12th April 2025
I bought this book, eventually, after being attracted to the hardback’s cover art on the shop shelves. And picked it to read when I wanted something light, and it delivered.
It’s a sort of coming-of-age story, albeit about a 25 year old, who was adopted as a baby and is starting to research his past through a series of puzzles set by his adoptive mother. Through alternating chapters we see him solving the puzzles, and the history of events leading up to his adoption.
It’s a good fun story, which takes minimal effort to read. The reader can choose to attempt the puzzles or just wait for the characters to get there. In many ways it was the easy read I was looking for.
