The Killer Isnt June is a complete AI written rip off of The Killer Isnt Alice, which I have now thankfully brought myself. The clues do not work, I have checked over and over for the clues around the Queen band members name and it simply does not work - this is confirmed on many social media threads too. Do not waste your money on this product

I ordered over a week ago and it still hasnt shipped. Emailed them twice to ask for a refund and have not gotten a response. I think I was scammed. Dont recommend...thats what I get for buying from a FB ad

I love puzzle books and am currently working through the Murdle series. I saw "The Killer Isn't June" advertised to me, and I thought it was an interesting concept and was interested in giving it a go. I was sorely disappointed; it took almost a month to be delivered, which I don't particularly care about, but I wouldn't recommend buying it as a gift (and I wouldn't recommend this book in general) unless you order it way in advance. I finished the book in less than two hours; I didn't even use a third of the book which is a huge waste of paper given that the entire book is about 110 front-to-back pages and you really only need to use three to find the solution. It is not worth the price point. The front and back covers are pixelated and obviously generated with AI, which the ads I've seen do not disclose any AI usage which is very deceptive. If they had, I would not have bought it at all, as it leads me to wonder if this entire book was generated. Look elsewhere for puzzle books. I do not recommend Corex or this "author". This is a total cash grab.

Edit to reply: Im not interested in your other books as you did not address my comment on the issue of it being AI, which is concerning.

I placed my order on October 8th and still haven't received the 3 books.

I’m so frustrated. They took my $77 over two weeks ago. No updates on my order status. Ive emailed them 3 times. Giving them their requisite 48 hours to respond.
I checked them out on Trust Pilot first before I ordered. Fair enough.
But I am thinking I’ve been scammed, or this us one if the most incompetent companies.
The book had a lot of promise. Or the idea did.
I just want them to answer an email or get my money back.
Id give them a zero if I could.

I did what it says at the back of the book and put an enquiry in with Corex Books to see if I had the killer. No response so I emailed Customer Service. So frustrating dealing with Trish who would not help me. The whole process was a joke and I still can’t get an answer!

Cheaply made (I've had it less than 24 hours and the binding is already falling apart), shipping took forever, I learned later it's a copycat of the Killer Isn't Alice. It took me not even 2 hours to complete. Waste of time and paper.

I ordered the book, the Killer isn't June and the erasable highlighters. Don't waste your money on the highlighters. The ink dried up in each of them before getting through clue one.

Both books arrived and are genuine (I think). "The Victim Isn't Dead" certainly has an AI feel about it. You can get it down to one page by using only 3 of the clues. There is no "sophistication" about it. Looks like a lot of short cuts were used. The price is astronomical for something that is so easy.

I think Corex has spent more time thinking about the marketing than the actual product.

There are a lot of these kind of puzzle books flooding the market at the moment. I would recommend going to a Puzzle forum before choosing what and where to buy for both quality and avoiding fakes.

I am extremely upset. If I could give a Zero star review, I would. I placed an order for the buy 1, gift 1. I waited for almost 2 weeks and only received 1 book!!! I called and sent messages and still no reply. I was excited to gift these books but I can't even do that. I will gladly change my review if this issue is fixed.

I received the spiral bound book today, The Killer Isn’t June”. Shipping took about a week and a half. However I will be taking it to the post office tomorrow to return it because $34.99 was an outrageous price to pay. It’s very small, about the size of a notebook, and the print is extremely small. It’s very cheaply made.

I won’t be purchasing from Corex ever again. Very disappointed. I was really looking forward to this one.

Purchased both The Killer isn't June and The Victim Isn't Dead. Both arrived just fine, so no issues there. Thoughts: don't buy the highlighters that come with them. They die after about 1 chapter each. The accompanying case booklets might be useful for some, but I found it more helpful to just write notes on the book pages. The Killer isn't June took about 8 hours, but I could have done it in less if I'd wanted because some clues eliminate so much. I did it slower on purpose to try and have more fun with it. Had better hopes for The Victim Isn't Dead. It was worse. Two clues eliminated over 90% of the pages, which let me solve the whole thing in less than an hour. I really wanted to like these as they promised hours of work, but the clues don't give you hours of work-- they take out huge chunks of the book, leaving only a few options left to find the answer. For the price, I'd expect more than one hour of work needed.

Purchased as gifts and I cannot wait to see my family when they open this as the packaging instantly says mystery and fun, which I have no doubt they will enjoy. Dealing with this company has been excellent and delivery so efficient

My order wasn't delivered
Contacted several times for updates and eventually was offered a refund - awaiting the refund now. Very disappointing as I ordered this as a gift.

The customer service team were first class when I had such a very bad time with the delivery company. I waited a very long time and delivery was so slow. I finally picked it up today after they used a different courier and started it immediately. It is going to be a good experience but I will not be buying again due to delivery issues.

I cancelled right after making the purchase, like tried to stop it before it went through and they took the money so I sent an email right after. They played email games for a week to delay the cancellation with the last email saying cancellations have to be made in a 24 hour window.

*After posting my review, a different representative reached out and provided the refund. I still got charged for 2 small international fees and I don’t understand why I didn’t receive my refund and cancellation in a timely manner. However, I appreciated that I got a response so I added a star.

UPDATED: shipping was slow. And it was delivered to the wrong address. Customer service contacted me to help locate my package and I got my book. Thank you.

Placed my order on Sept 9th. Waited and waited. Finally used tracking number to see where my order is. It says it was delivered but I received NOTHING. I emailed the company and got no response. I think this is a scam site!

Its a fun puzzle book to do but i realised on clue one, by the third page that many of the names are doubled, if not tripled or more throughout the books which makes it a lot less challenging. And actually makes the statement 43,000 suspects false. But still a puzzling way to pass time thats different from other things ive done.

Bought the killer isnt june. Took 2 weeks to arrive from China and 45 minutes to solve. Also clearly made with AI from the nonsense words on the cover. Very disappointing.
