Our take on the Brain Games True Crime Puzzles

Brain Games True Crime Puzzles is a spiral-bound activity book from Publications International that pairs short true-crime cases with logic, deduction and observation puzzles. Each spread gives you a scenario and asks you to spot the lie, match a suspect or find the contradiction in the evidence. The spiral binding lets it lie flat, which makes it easier to work through than a standard glued paperback. It suits puzzle fans and true-crime readers who want a light, portable brain workout rather than a long-form investigation.
