The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers

A novel

By: Samuel Burr

Narrated by: Penelope Keith, Russell Tovey

An extraordinary, gloriously uplifting novel about the power of friendship and the puzzling ties that bind us

Clayton Stumper might be in his twenties, but he dresses like your grandpa and fusses like your aunt. Abandoned at birth on the steps of the Fellowship of Puzzlemakers, he was raised by a group of eccentric enigmatologists and now finds himself among the last survivors of a fading institution.

When the esteemed crossword compiler and main maternal presence in Clayton’s life, Pippa Allsbrook, passes away, she bestows her final puzzle on him: a promise to reveal the mystery of his parentage and prepare him for life beyond the walls of the commune. So begins Clay’s quest to uncover the secrets surrounding his birth, secrets that will change Clay—and the Fellowship—forever.

The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers is pure joy, a story about love and family and what it means to find your people—no matter what age you are.

This audiobook includes an exclusive, audio-only introduction by the author.

Good story, but not a great story

I loved the idea of the Fellowship and the commune and the friendships that thrived. That story would have been enough for me by far.
Clayton's journey, however, was just middling.

The puzzle theme was unique

The pace of the story was a bit slow and Clayton was afraid of his shadow - really not good character development.

Magnificent

This story us a puzzle, within a riddle, wrapped in an enigma. Very enjoyable from beginning to end.

Penelope Keith’s reading is wonderful

Excellent story and readers. Well developed book and characters which progresses nicely. Fun puzzles to try to work out as well

Enchanting Storytellers

I was spellbound by the story and the storytellers made the characters come alive. Plus I have a new understanding of fellowship.
