Here, the book becomes the locked room and the pages become the path. The book is very nicely produced with plenty of helpful illustrations. Its clever design incorporates a “code wheel” in the front cover, which is put to use throughout the escape exercise. There are puzzles, mazes, brainteasers, riddles, references to the original Sherlock Holmes stories and mathematical problems that provide the code to guide you along the correct path — plus some red herrings. In some cases, if you get it wrong the first time, you receive a second chance to redeem yourself. If you really get stuck, there are hints provided to help you get back on track. And the solutions are given at the back of the book. * The Sherlock Holmes Journal * If you are anticipating a buttocks-numbing journey to your holiday destination, this book will certainly help to while away the hours.
