Here's the first sentence:
"So, when's she going to walk?" Cora said.
Yeah, not the best opening sentence.
So, now, turning to page 56, we find a sudoku. So I'll go back to page 55. Don't worry, I'm really not spoiling anything with this.
"Oh, no," Cora said. "Don't tell me."
"Tell you what?" Charlotte said. "What's wrong?"
Edith's eyes widened. "Oh, no! Is he dead?"
"He's dead, all right," Harper said. "And that's not all."
Harper whipped out a handkerchief and used it to carefully hold up the crumpled paper that had been in [the man's] coat pocket.
It was a sudoku.
I can't help but laugh.... that snippet makes it seem like the Sudoku knows more than they do...

The clues in this series often do come in the crossword puzzles and sudokus left with the bodies.
ReplyDeleteIn general, it is a fun series. This book wasn't quite up to par, but I normally like them.
And Gilion, thanks for following.
