Review of
Solve
the Mystery: 41 Puzzling Cases, by A. C. Gordon ISBN
0486296628
Five out of five stars
All the
mysteries in this book are at most little more than a page and some just fill a
page. Therefore, every word may be of significance, the key is to recognize the
phrase that contains the critical clue(s). The solution is given in inverted
text at the end of the mystery. Some of the solutions are obvious while reading
the mystery, others are obvious when the solution is read and then there are
others where it is hard to see where the critical clue is in the text of the
mystery.
Robberies and
murders are the main crimes that are to be solved, clearly there are no
elaborate murder plots. This book is fun, and the puzzles are challenging,
brief intellectual exercises to flex the critical brain cells.
