Our take on the 5 Minute Murder: 100 addictive crime mystery puzzles for logical sleuths

5 Minute Murder is a paperback puzzle book from Greenfinch with 100 short crime mystery puzzles built for logical deduction. Each case is designed to be solved in about five minutes, so it suits commutes, coffee breaks and bedtime rather than long sittings. It sits alongside other quick-fire puzzle books but leans on crime scenarios and clue-spotting instead of general trivia or word games. The 272-page format gives solvers plenty of cases, though the short length means each puzzle is lighter than a full whodunit.
