Mom's Review
This puzzle was so much fun to build and to solve! While T's dad read us The Odyssey aloud, we worked on assembling the puzzle. The level of detail in this puzzle made solving it in some ways easier (you know the dog's paw prints have to be put there) and in some ways challenging (there are so many vines, where does each piece go?). The real appeal of the puzzle was the content though. I read a lot of mysteries, so seeing some of those authors and being introduced to new ones added a level of enjoyment. And once we finished the puzzle, we got to solve the murder. If you've ever solved those grid logic puzzles, it works a bit like that. You read the clues, read the author information, and then determine which author fits all the clues. Voila, you have found the murderer. So much fun!!! And the best part? I've already forgotten who the killer was, so when we build the puzzle again, the mystery can be solved anew!
