Sinister Sudoku: A Sudoku Mystery #3 by Kaye Morgan

Sinister Sudoku: A Sudoku Mystery by Kaye Morgan


Sudoku maven Liza Kelly is conducting classes in a penitentiary, of all places. One of her best students is released, but his freedom doesn't last long. He's found dead, leaving his own puzzle for Liza to solve to find the killer, before her number is up.


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an okay read. This is a mystery series that I can live with or without. The mysteries are okay, the outcome is okay. The characters are okay. I find the rivalry between the two guys who like Liza to be juvenile. Some of the clues are very obvious. This was okay for a quick read but nothing spectacular.

Murder By Numbers: A Sudoku Mystery #2 by Kaye Morgan

Murder By Numbers: A Sudoku Mystery by Kaye Morgan


Puzzle master Liza Kelly must sharpen her pencil-and her wits-to solve a calculated killing. Second in the Sudoku mystery series--from the author of Death by Sudoku.

Taking on the role of publicist puts Liza in the center of the action on the production of the film Counterfeit, where inflated egos and artistic temperaments clash both on set and off. But when one of the film's major players is found dead, Sudoku Maven Liza realizes that the numbers don't quite add up. Now it's up to her to investigate the cast and crew in order to determine just who wrote this death scene.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I did not enjoy this book as much as I did the first book in the series. The mystery in this one really had nothing to do with Soduko, and in itself was not that interesting. Liza's thought process in trying to figure out who done it was rather drawn out and repetitive. Will continue with the series to see how the next book is, but was not overly impressed with this one.

An enjoyable first book in a the cozy Sudoku Mystery series. The main character is likable as are the supporting characters. I enjoyed the coded Sudoku puzzles part of the mystery and overall it was a quick fun read. I like the two men in Liza's life. Not sure which I would choose for her but look forward to getting to know them both a little more. Love Mrs. H, Liza's matchmaking next door neighbor. Looking forward to reading #2 to see where the author goes with the story.
