I'm not into Sudoky puzzles. But, I was able to follow the story linewith no problem. As well as fill in a couple of the puzzles in the book!

This is a light and peppy mystery with a lot of very well presented information about sudoku, including some puzzles to solve if you choose to. I was afraid the sudoku theme might be off putting. But I was pleasantly surprised. The story line may be a bit unrealistic, but it is so well presented and written that I was willing to suspend disbelief.

Liza enters a Sudoku tournament and runs into an old friend, Derrick Robbins. He used to be a `biggy' in television but he's veered off the path into puzzles and conspiracy theories. When Derrick turns up dead after the tournament, it's up to Liza to find the killer. Is Sudoku itself involved in the murder? Liza better find out before she's arrested.

Death by Sudoku is unique, fun and a fast read. I love the concept and look forward to Kaye Morgan's next Sudoku mystery.
