Sherlock Holmes Cross Word Puz

by Ruth Lake Tepper

Summary

Ah! The game’s afoot!

It’s The Sherlock Holmes Crossword Puzzle Book, an intriguing collection of crossword puzzles that will delight both crossword puzzle fans and Holmes buffs.

How does it work? Each puzzle is preceded by a condensation of one of Conan Doyle’s famous Sherlock Holmes stories. Presented in the story are a challenging mystery and clues. Read the story, test your knowledge of Holmes’s problem-solving processes, do the puzzle, and, as the answers are filled in, the solution will reveal itself. A page in the back of the book gives the answer to the puzzle and the solution to the mystery. An entertaining epilogue tells what happened after Holmes solved each case, and short pieces of Holmesiana dot the book. Included for those who want a super-challenge—a puzzle once used as an examination for admission to the Baker Street Irregulars.

Happy Solving!
