Product Description
This internationally successful murder mystery is based around the hugely popular Sudoku craze.Sudoku fever has swept the nation! Because it doesn't involve words it's the universally democratic puzzle, and as such is the only game you'll see men, women, and children working on - in books and newspapers, on the bus, the train, and on the internet.Puzzle addicts and murder mystery fans alike will love Shelley Freydont's new series, which is based on the world's favourite puzzle. This intriguing first book introduces mathematician and Sudoku whizz Katie McDonald, a self-professed geek who works for a hush-hush government think tank, the Institute of Theoretical Mathematics. Katie takes some time off from her job and returns to her hometown to help her mentor try to save the Avondale Puzzle Museum. But when she finds her friend dead at his desk, she becomes the de facto curator of the museum and chief suspect in the professor's murder. Solving the unfinished Sudoku puzzle that the deceased was working on becomes the key to proving Katie's innocence.Featuring Sudokus throughout, this book is sure to be a big hit with puzzle addicts and murder mystery fans alike.

I was very keen to read this series of books, as I have thoroughly enjoyed Shelley's Lindy Haggerty series. This book did not disappoint.

puzzles within puzzles
23 May 2007
Format:Hardcover
This well-written mystery grabbed my attention from page one. Katie is reluctantly drawn into a small New England town murder mystery full of intrigue that rings true, believable quirky characters and all. What with the popularity of sudoku, as well as all puzzles, The Puzzle Museum, almost istelf a character in this plot, will make you yearn to visit. The surprising plot twists will keep mystery lovers, as well as sudoku fans reading way into the night. I look forward to the next Katie McDonald mystery.

Sudoku and Murder
4 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover
Katie McDonald's old friend Professor P. T. Avondale has asked her back home to help him with a problem. So Katie takes a break from her mathematical think tank job. In school Katie was a "geek" and never fit in. That is until the professor took her under his wing at his puzzle museum.
When Katie arrives, she finds the puzzle museum isn't looking so good any more. Plus the mean receptionist doesn't make visitors feel welcome. The professor tells Katie that the bank has threatened foreclosure, and he wants her help in finding where the payments went. When she finds the professor stabbed to death, she knows something is definitely amiss.
This was such a fun mystery to read. I found myself not wanting to put it down to figure out who did it and why. Katie is such a fun character, too. The author did a great job of intertwining information about Sudoku along with the fabulous mystery. It makes for such an enjoyable cozy mystery read.
I highly recommend this book. I can't wait to read #2.
