- Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024I’m bed bound for the next couple months due to surgery. I wanted something other than my phone to keep me entertained, I saw this and bought it! So far this book is fun, lots of brain games to keep you thinking! I’m very happy I bought this! I recommend to anyone that is looking for something to occupy their mind other than a smartphone.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2025I'm obsessed with these true crime activity books and the spiral binding on this one is my favorite.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2024These really don't have much to do with criminal minds. It's mostly just word searches and other puzzles of that nature.
I was expecting puzzles where you figure out who murdered someone. It's not that
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024I purchased this product as a gift. It arrived quickly and in excellent condition. A variety of puzzles which kept my father occupied for hours and hours.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2024Great for teens and gamily trivia
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2024I am enjoying this puzzle book. The one exception is the photo puzzles that test memory and observation. In all pictures (50 or more), it is difficult even with good light and a magnifying glass to clearly see the over exposed pictures.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2024My friend loved it! She's a true crime buff so this was right up her alley.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024Bought this for my mother for Christmas. Her and I are huge CSI and criminal mind fans. Just thought this was a cute little book to buy her. She loves it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect For On The Plane
Gave this to my sun to occupy him on a long haul flight, spent a couple of hours on it, helped the journey go much more quickly

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the purchase!! I love this puzzle book
An absolute must have for my fellow crime and suspense lovers with a knack for solving mysteries! I like how this book has all these mind boggling puzzles in one place, no need to search for hours on Google to compile a list which can be time consuming huh 😅 That being said, here's yet another addition for your bookshelf! I mean there's no such thing as having too many books huh? :')
- Ken NReviewed in Canada on November 29, 2024
4.0 out of 5 stars Fun gift
This was purchased as a gift and was enjoyed by the individual recipient who is yet to solve the entire read
- M OwenReviewed in the United Kingdom on October 2, 2022
4.0 out of 5 stars Very good but repetitive
Good fun for the first 10 but then they are all based on the same format so becomes less interesting
