Thanks to the publishers for sharing this one. I found the puzzles fairly challenging, so it's a good one for adults.

This was a good book of puzzles. Enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes aspect of it. The puzzles were very interesting and there was lots of variety. Good for a change of pace!
I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher and voluntarily chose to review it.

This was an interesting book. I enjoy doing the code breakers, and I learned a couple of things along the way.

As someone currently obsessed with puzzles, this was just what I was looking for. The puzzles were solvable enough to be fun, but not so easy that they became boring. Filled with clever Sherlock Holmes references, this book is a great way to get into code-breaking.

This book offers hours upon hours of code breaking fun. Puzzle lovers will love this and it will keep kids, teens and adults busy for a long time! You don't have to be a Sherlock fan to appreciate it either, although it will be doubly loved by Holmes enthusiasts.
I think it would make a great gift for anyone with a penchant for puzzling.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an advance digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* cute book would have rather had a physical copy to do the puzzles easier but really cute

This book is quite a lot of fun with puzzles ranging from fairly straight forward to challenging (for an adult). I think it's a great mix of difficulty that will really help kids gradually learn and help them with their problem-solving skills. This books also take up quite a bit of time trying to figure things out, so it's an amazing activity book to keep kids entertained.

I didn't have the time to try all the puzzles but I liked the ones I did. A lot of them at the begining where too similar tho (the ones where you had to replace a symbol by a letter) and not the kind of puzzle I like to do because it's too easy and not challenging. Otherwise I liked that there where multiple puzzles of each kind and it was realy fun ! I didn't really like the graphism : the images had no coherence and where not very agreeable to the eye in my opinion.

A great book for puzzle lovers. It would have been nice if the puzzles were mixed up a bit more rather doing all of one style together.

I wasn't able to download this book, but I was able to look at the book elsewhere now that it has been published. This would be a great gift for someone that loves word puzzles. I love that each puzzle is inspired by a quote and information found in Arthur Conan Doyle's text - such a creative idea.
The puzzles themselves are quite tricky and not something that you (or I, at least) could do in a couple of minutes. I definitely needed paper and a pen for the ones I tried, and some of them, were definitely a "I'll save this for when I have more time".
A fun book, but something for a particular type of puzzler.

Dieses Buch habe ich via Netgalley bekommen und ich bereue es nicht. Denn die Rätsel sind einfach spannend und manchmal auch ein bisschen schwer. Eine Art schaffte ich nicht, da ich sie nicht verstehe. Da geht's um einen Stick, auf den eine Rolle von Buchstaben aufgefädelt wurde. Denn der Stick kann von 3 Seiten bis unendlich-1 Seiten haben. Deshalb ist diese Art von Rätsel sehr schwer zu lösen. Etwas, das ich persönlich gut und einfach finde ist das Rätsel der vertauschten Buchstaben. Dort ist die Anordnung der Buchstaben der Wörter durcheinander. Das hatte ich schnell draußen.

Ich will mich hier nochmal beim Autor bedanken,dass er mir das Buch zur Verfügung stellte. Ich genoss es richtig die Rätsel zu lösen.

This is a great puzzle book!

There are a lot of puzzles that rely on code breaking to read the encoded phrase. There is a hint for each puzzle but I still found them surprisingly challenging. I appreciate that there's a key with all of the answers at the back of the book to check your work.

I wish there was another hint instead of having to check the final answer because I really struggled with some of the puzzles. Or maybe more "practice" where you're walked through how to solve the puzzles before solving them.

It is definitely challenging and keeps you thinking!

These were super fun and challenging puzzles to solve - a fun quarantine activity! My husband saw me trying to figure out one of them and pretty soon we were working together to solve them all. Great introduction to the idea of ciphers and codes, and a fun theme holding them all together. Thanks to the publisher for a Netgalley; my opinions are my own.

Loved this book and will be using it as brain break and challenge sessions in class. A great book to get kids thinking strategically and also a great way to get the family puzzling together.

Addictive puzzling.
I really enjoyed testing my brain power with this book. Just as I was starting to get in to the swing of it (& maybe find it a bit repetitive) they changed the style of puzzles and had me on the back foot again. Nice to give my brain a little work out.

My family and I really enjoyed this book and it has come in handy during these many months of lock down. I first was worried that the quantity of examples of each type of code would become redundant, but it was actually a joy to have so many of each so you could really get the hang of each type presented. I enjoyed the little comments, quotes and banter on each that related the codes to the well known world of Holmes. I would recommend this is anyone who loves solving a good puzzle, and maybe learning to write their own unique and challenging coded messages for others to solve! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to explore this book!

I LOVE PUZZLES! There are a ton of puzzle books out there that are extremely hard to the point where I have put them down because it has become a chore to do them. While these code puzzles are challenging, they are also solvable. If you get stuck, however, there are hits at the bottom of the page and there’s always the answers in the back. This is not a book that you will digest in one sitting, which allows for multiple puzzle times. However, I found myself mesmerized with solving these codes and coming up for air after an hour. I love the subtle Sherlock Holmes theme throughout. Hats off to you, Mr. Berloquin for a well-done puzzle book series. I will follow these for years to come and look forward to purchasing the remaining series. If you enjoy puzzles you will definitely want to pick this up!

What a fantastic book full of puzzles. A codebreakers dream! Totally challenging short cryptic messages to decode, and a simple clue at the foot of each page to assist the code breaker!
A fantastic brain stretch for locked-down brains
Brilliantly challenging.

I was first drawn to this book because it’s Sherlock Holmes themed and he is an intriguing person in history as it is. There is a variety of puzzles and they range from pretty simple to solve to downright intense! This will be perfect for challenging students with something fun.

If cryptograms are your favorite type of puzzle, you will enjoy the 101 puzzles within Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Code Breakers.

All are based on puzzles used in real life by emperors, spies, and warriors. Each puzzle has a task for Dr. Watson (you) to do. The brief stories and illustrations add a bit of whimsy to the book.

If you want to challenge yourself, look no further. Sherlock Holmes Puzzles: Code Breakers is a great choice to keep your mind active. 5 stars!
