Review of The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers by Samuel Burr

Today is my stop on the Random things blog tour for The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers by Samuel Burr.

Clayton Stumper is not your average twenty five year old. After being abandoned at birth on the steps of the Fellowship of Puzzlemakers, Clayton was raised by this super intelligent group of people.

When Pippa, founder of the fellowship and the one who mainly raised Clayton, passes away she leaves a final puzzle just for Clayton to solve. It promises to help him solve the mystery of his parents and help him find his own future.

As Clayton sets out on a journey of discovery, he starts to find more secrets woven in with the clues.

Can he find the answers that he so desperately seeks?

This is such a wonderful book and an amazing debut! I loved that the different puzzles were included in the storyline and particularly liked the dual timeline of the book.

5 stars
