What readers think of The Puzzle Master, plus links to write your own review.

Dreams, rituals, codes, riddles, porcelain dolls, prayer circles, a dual gendered god, the God puzzle, and before you know it the future of the universe and mankind is at stake.

I haven’t finished - an extraordinary superpower, a maze of clues, secret rooms, cryptic ancient mysteries- no wonder I was ‘puzzled’ - this was just too much, too convoluted and unnecessary over the top ‘puzzle art’ that didn’t come together and remained entangled in its own labyrinth of subplots, twists and messaging.

I thought the book started well and an early quote got my attention - “Sometimes a secret remains out of reach for a reason”.

Keeping the suspense going, we have a brutal murder, a woman convicted of the crime but won’t speak out, and the puzzle master who now possesses an extraordinary skill, after a traumatic brain injury, known as ‘acquired savant syndrome’. There are few known cases around the world but it enables the person to solve puzzles and see patterns that no one else can.

Having been sought out by Jess Price, Mike Brink must solve the ‘puzzle’ to free this woman he is becoming obsessed with and protect her until he does. However, with dead bodies turning up with no obvious connections to the case, Mike doesn’t know who to trust among the many enemies he seems to be accumulating.

Then the book went off into the twilight zone with so many weird aspects to the story, events and people that did not come together or align unfortunately. We went down so many rabbit holes explaining ancient myths and texts, Hebrew writing, and the so called ‘God puzzle’. I lost the plot, and it was game over for me!!!

This novel has everything and the sky's the cut-off, the pages continue to fly by in Trusoni's capable, gifted hands: - New York Times hit creator David Baldacci

The entire world is a riddle, and Mike Edge - an acclaimed and shrewd riddle creator - comprehends instances of this like no other, when Edge, a promising Midwestern football star, was changed by a terrible cerebrum injury brought about by a surprising illness that left him with a scholarly inability. The injury conceded him a mental superpower - he could tackle puzzles such that ordinary individuals proved unable. Anyway, it left him profoundly disengaged and unfit to associate with others completely.

A lady serving thirty years in jail for homicide who has not verbally communicated a word since her catch quite a while back. At the point when Cost shows up with a befuddling puzzle, his master lets it be known will uncover his bad behaviour and brings in Edge to manage it. What starts as a yearning to figure out a charming code before long transforms into an obsession with value He before long finds that behind his serenity, pushing Edge back to the real world, lies something a lot further and more perilous.

The mission takes Edge through a movement of interlocking riddles but the centre of the secret is the God Puzzle, a dark old heavenly cycle made by the thirteenth century Jewish mystic Abraham Abulafia. As Edge crosses a maze of hints, and his homegrown snare with Cost turns out to be more limit, he understands that there are more grounded powers at work that he can't escape.

From a New York ladies' jail to nineteenth century Prague to the baffling rooms of the Pierpont Morgan Library, The Puzzle Master is an entrancing and habit-forming roller coaster that questions a definitive destiny of humanity, development and the first universe.
