My husband and I are looking for an adventure/mystery/thriller puzzle book. Something similar to 39 Clues but for adults...with a National Treasure vibe to it.
We read the tagged book a couple of years back and loved it. Today, a B&N employee recommended me Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore. I bought it but I'm not sure if it's what we're looking for.
Any recommendations?
IndoorDame Have you ever read ?![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
The Eight: A Novel 11mo
The Eight: A Novelrretzler I read lots of mysteries but can‘t think of anything that is like what you‘ve described. The closest I can think of is The Inheritance Games series, which is YA, but still readable for adults. It‘s a 3 book series which won tons of awards and now has a spin-off series. Definite puzzle feature.The Inheritance Games 11mo

CatLass007 I‘ve read Bright Ideas… It‘s okay but I agree with @IndoorDame and @AmyG about The Eight. And you can‘t go wrong with The Name of the Rose. 11mo

TieDyeDude I've never read 39 Clues, but are you thinking along the lines of The Da Vinci Code? https://bookriot.com/books-like-the-da-vinci-code/ 11mo
