Secret Service Brainteasers – Codebreaking & Spy Puzzle Book by Sinclair McKay

Think you’ve got what it takes to be a spy?

Put your codebreaking skills to the test with Secret Service Brainteasers by Sinclair McKay – a brilliant collection of over 100 puzzles inspired by the secret heroes and masterminds of Britain’s intelligence services.

There are hidden codes to crack, secret languages to decipher, sabotage-themed brainteasers, countdown challenges and plenty of puzzles designed to properly get the grey matter working. Along the way, fascinating stories from the world of MI5 and MI6 bring a little real-life espionage into the mix too. 

This is definitely one for someone who enjoys a challenge rather than an easy puzzle book! Reader feedback particularly highlights the variety of codes, logic, wordplay, patterns and other puzzles — and the fact that some are satisfyingly tricky. 

A great gift for dads, husbands, grandads, puzzle lovers, history buffs and anyone who secretly fancies themselves as the next 007. Perfect for birthdays, Christmas, Father’s Day or as a clever stocking filler.

If they enjoyed Bletchley Park Brainteasers, The GCHQ Puzzle Book or simply love codes, puzzles and British history, this should be right up their street.
