Our take on the Murdle 5: The Case of The Seven Skulls

Murdle 5 is the fifth paperback collection of murder-mystery logic puzzles from the Murdle series. Each case gives you a grid of suspects, weapons and locations, and you deduce the killer by cross-referencing clues, much like a detective-themed Sudoku. This volume packs 64 puzzles across 320 pages, with the difficulty ramping up from quick warm-ups to multi-part cases. It suits adults who like deduction puzzles and fans of the earlier books; newcomers can start here, though the series builds its running cast and inside jokes across volumes.
