Killers Can Be Pals / Killer können Freunde sein (Sudoku)
(Published on 22. December 2021, 16:51 by PDN777)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along the palindrome lines must read the same forward and backwards. Digits in a cage must sum to the little number in the upper left, and may not repeat in the cage. Neighboring digits marked with a white Kropki dot are consecutive. Not all dots are given. I think this puzzle is 1 star for difficulty for many solvers. As always, comments welcome!
Solution code: First row of puzzle, and fourth column of puzzle (read top to bottom). Enter as a string of 18 digits, no spaces.

Fun puzzle that took me a couple of tries. Probably a 1.5-2 star for a novice variant solver.

Thought it would a very trivial puzzle, but there a surprising little bump in difficulty when you've exhausted most of the clues. I'll give it a higher rating for a pleasant surprise.
