Corexbooks Reviews 

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!

Updated to reply to Corex….I did email you at that email address and got no reply.

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.

Only used 10 out of 17 "clues".
Clues were direct instructions, not clues at all.
Far too easy to solve.
Complete in less than 2 hours.
The companion app (paid for) is pointless.
Would not recommend.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

THEY SCAM MONEY OUT OF YOU AND THEN DONT REFUND YOU WHEN ITEM DOESNT ARRIVE, JUST KEEP SPINNING YOU A YARN AND GPING AROUND IN CIRCLES WITH RUBBISH EMAILS.

Update as requested by their reply..

Be very careful of this company, currently going through a charge back as item never received. The company tried to get this review removed and trust pilot didnt allow this. The item never arrived as they've tried to claim in their reply and Zach from Corex knows this! My emails prove item never arrived...I would happily show email screenshot to prove item never arrived as Corex have also admitted they know this!

It’s been over a month never received my paid for expedited order, and never received it. Emailed seller numerous times was offered 10% refund. BS! Need full refund. Was given another tracker for parcel to which said delivered but couldn’t look at tracking full page because said wrong postal code. Contacted the new tracker same thing order address is correct from myself. They did it incorrect on their end and won’t give full refund. File claim on credit card and filed complaint on BBB all out of country web based shipper no way to verify tracking once ordered and they take your money. Fraud

Bought "The Killer Isn't June" from Corex, plus the additional detective handbook that's automatically added to the basket. The site is legit and the item arrived in good time, but as you can't leave product reviews anywhere on the site (I wonder why?!):

DON'T BUY "THE KILLER ISN'T JUNE".

The mystery is solved very easily after just 6 of the 17 clues (if you mark the names off as you work through the clues it's blatantly obvious) and the additional book is completely unnecessary. It was fun for a couple of days but definitely not worth the £30+ it cost.

GREATEST GIFT EVER!!! I'm buying it for my Daughter's Christmas Present and she will LOVE it! Reasonably priced, shipped quickly and VERY securely. It will be the BEST Christmas present ever! One she will never forget! I HIGHLY recommend this Site and this Item.

Today Thursday 27/8/26:
Finally had an email and sorted things out, so for this I’m changing my 1* to 4 *
They are saying a huge backlog has developed and doesn’t tie also up with the tracking,
However I will take a look in the future once things have calmed down on the orders….
———————- thank you Corex for your earliest reply

No update from tracking last few days, I’ve therefore asked for a full refund this was for a gift now past the time,
Funny how they now on 3 emails later not responded to my request, yet quickly responded to a request about delivery …scam ! 🤔😠

Reply update …
The thing is I have sent now 3 emails over the past 2 days …..
No tracking update , still showing the same as last week ….
@Corexbooks
I ve emailed you yet again…. Waiting on a response, sent over 20 mins ago, will give it one day/2days …

Enjoyed the process. Between the normal daily activities of life, it took 4 days to complete and appreciate it not being a 'quick solve' but attention to details.

Ordering and delivery were easy and prompt. This is a gift for a for a lifelong friend who has always loved a big challenge. I hope it lives up to expectations!!

The original response was positive and exciting. I still haven’t managed not received my pack ordered 21/7/26.

I had it solved in 90 minutes. This is not difficult. In fact it is quite simple. I expected much more.

Books are fantastic great quality, I see they are bringing out spiral bound edition. I would highly this one as it’s easy to work on the individual pages. I brought all family the normal ones which were also great and great quality. We had a competition to see who could solve it first. Was absolutely fantastic.

Great customer service while tracking my order. Great communication as well. Would def order again!

This was great. 3 families going on vacation and I got one each for the girls. They loved it. Two got the answer in 4 and 5 days. My wife still working on it. It was a great game because even though us guys didn’t play we talked and laughed with them about where they were in the game and the race to finish. Fantastic game.

I wasn't sure I'd have the patience for this whodunnit, but, once I started, I was hooked!! Sometimes excited, sometimes infuriated, but always intrigued.
The more clus I solved, the more my heartrate went up!! It was a thriller that I was happy to solve.
Thank you!! Keep them coming!!

Me daughter bought this book for myself and her and it has been so much fun!
