Book Review of Death by Sudoku (Sudoku, Bk 1)

Death by Sudoku (Sudoku, Bk 1)
Helpful Score: 6


So I thought a book combining two things that I love to do (read and sudoku puzzles) would be awesome. I have to admit though, I was torn. The story was moving along when the author went to a sudoku solving tournament, I didn't know what to do. Keep reading or stop and solve the puzzle in the book? I ended up continuing to read and doing the puzzles once I had finished. The story fits the guidelines for a cozy mystery, but there is not much character development and I felt that the ending just sort of happened rather than a suspenseful leading up to it. I will probably read the next book in the series, it went quick and did make my brain work a little, but it was not the great revelation in novels that I had hoped for when combining sudoku with reading.
