Fannish 50: 2024: Everything is Murder edition: #15: Jigsaw puzzles

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I love doing jigsaw puzzles. It really provides a kind of therapy that nothing else does. When I can't think of what to do or what will help, doing a puzzle helps. It turns off my anxious brain in a very efficient and effective way.

It's easy to connect jigsaw puzzles to murder. I was heartened in one of the recent Agatha Christie novels I read Poirot is doing a jigsaw puzzle and using it as a metaphor. But there are plenty of 'mystery puzzles,' too. And I got one.

This was satisfying. Very, very simple. The box is like a book.

Murder Most Puzzling. The Clairvoyants' Convention. 500 pieces. You read the intro on the inside cover, then do the puzzle (no guide) and the idea is to find the imposter clairvoyant at the convention. There's an envelope you half-open for a clue then fully open for the solution. It isn't a very high brow solution or mystery but it was nice.

That looks like it was great fun!

It was fun. A lot more faces than I'm used to, but a fun ensemble.

Every now and then I feel like trying out a puzzle but...I'm not sure I have enough patience for them. But this one sounds like a lot of fun!

The mystery part of it was very easy. The difficulty with the puzzle part is that you don't have the picture to guide you, but it is on 500 pieces so not too tough.

Very cool. I'd wondered how you were going to work puzzles into your Fannish 50: everything is murder.
