Our take on the Murdoku 03
Murdoku 03 is the third volume in the Murdoku puzzle book series, published by Cassell (Octopus) as a 224-page paperback. It packs 80 logic puzzles that combine sudoku-style grid solving with murder-mystery deduction: you fill the grid and use the clues to work out who did it. The format suits fans of both crime fiction and pen-and-paper logic puzzles who want something more narrative than a standard sudoku book.

Questions and answers
- Do I need to know sudoku to solve these?
- Yes. Each puzzle uses a sudoku-style grid as its base, and the murder clues are layered on top. If you have never solved a sudoku, start with an easier book first.
- Is Murdoku 03 a standalone book?
- It is the third volume, but each puzzle is self-contained. You can start here without reading volumes one or two, though earlier books give you the same format at the same price point.
- How many puzzles are in the book?
- There are 80 puzzles across 224 pages. That works out to roughly two to three pages per puzzle, leaving room for the grid and the clue text.
- What size is the book?
- It is a paperback measuring about 234mm tall by 153mm wide, close to a standard trade paperback. That is large enough to write in the grids comfortably.
- Is this good for a long trip?
- Yes, if you like logic puzzles. At 80 puzzles it will last many sittings, and the paperback is light enough to pack. Bring a pencil, since you will erase.
- When is the best time to buy it?
- Puzzle books usually drop around the holidays and in January. Check the price history on this page before buying if you are not in a hurry.
