Unified rating from 150 reviewers

I bought this book to keep me busy during the long July weekend, and I ended up solving three cases before the fireworks even started! The puzzles are challenging but never feel impossible. I love that it's clean and family-friendly; my teenage grandson and I solved a case together last night. It's the perfect 'cozy' mystery without any gore or shock value. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a good whodunit.

As someone who deals with logic all day, I was skeptical that a book could keep me engaged, but The Independence Day Sleuth exceeded my expectations. The clues are well-hidden, and the red herrings actually make sense. I particularly enjoyed the barbecue mystery where the weapon was something you'd expect to find at a cookout. It's a fantastic way to unwind and use my brain. Worth every penny.

This is my third book in the Holiday Sleuth series, and it holds up well. The setting is immersive, making you feel like you're right there at the festival. I found a few puzzles slightly repetitive in structure, but the variety in the crime scenes keeps it interesting. Great gift idea for mystery lovers. I've already ordered the Halloween Sleuth to keep the streak going!

I bought this for my daughter, and she loved it so much she challenged me to play along. We had a blast deducing the killer before the culprit escaped. The 'clean' nature of the mysteries is a huge plus for our household. It's not just a puzzle book; it's a celebration of the holiday with a twist. The solutions included at the back are clear and helpful when you get stuck.

Our book club decided to try a puzzle book instead of a novel, and this was a hit! We split the cases among members and met the next day to discuss our findings. The logical deduction required really sparked great conversations. It's rare to find a book that combines entertainment with genuine mental exercise. Perfect for a rainy afternoon or a sunny summer day.

I've read plenty of cozy mysteries, but this is different. It's interactive. You aren't just reading about the investigation; you are the detective. The pacing is excellent, and the twists at the end of several cases were genuinely surprising. I deducted 1 star only because I wish there were a few more puzzles in each chapter, but 150 total is still a great value. A solid addition to the Sleuth Collection.
