In the first Winston Breen book, the puzzles were dropped in more or less at random in Winston's treasure hunt; here there's a more organic part of the story, and for obvious reasons. As a result, this volume is less gimmicky than its predecessor. The extra puzzles--the ones outside of the competition--are dropped in where Winston is killing time traveling from place to place, or while waiting for people, or in other such places, instead of (actual example from the first book, as best I remember) "I'm trapped in a burning basement, and here's the puzzle it reminds me of!"
As mysteries go, this is about my speed--I've always been a fan of puzzles but mysteries don't interest me much. This is the kind of book I'd have gravitated toward in 4th or 5th grade, when the inevitable Mystery Book Report came around. ( )
