Юные друзья мои, если вы раскрыли эту книгу, значит, лавры Шерлока Холмса, комиссара Мегрэ или майора Пронина не дают вам покоя. Ведь, заинтересовавшись профессией сыщика, человек заболевает ею на всю жизнь. Здесь и тайны, и погони, и перестрелки, и, уж конечно, есть тут место и настоящему героизму - ведь сыщик, раскрывший преступление и поймавший преступника, самый настоящий герой! И все же не это самое главное. Самое главное - это складывание мозаики. Да, да! По крупицам, намекам, порой интуитивно воссоздается картина совершенного преступления. И здесь недостаточно быть наблюдательным, терпеливым и хитрым. Нужно обладать навыками и пользоваться определенными приемами, известными только сыщикам-профессионалам. Как снять отпечатки пальцев или распознать подделку, допросить свидетеля и собрать улики - обо всем вы найдете в этой книге, кроме того, здесь интересные упражнения для начинающих сыщиков и ответы на них. Так что переворачивайте страницу, и добро пожаловать в Клуб Детективов!

Doesn't contain new technologies that might make a detective's job easier. But still gives good insight into what someone thinking of becoming a detective may face.
The detective reminds me of Inspector Gadget but a lot smarter..have been reading it for so many times..a good book to give kids instead of the usual video games. Might even teach them a thing or two for example how crooks work,fake evidence, seeing through disguies..lots more!
Boy did i love this book as a kid. I actually purchased it again recently for my little cousin. Brilliant book and actually teaches you a few things or two. Superb!!
This book was originally published in 1978 and I remember it from my childhood! Although it's rather dated in places, (everyone is white apart from 2 people in a bit that talks about making a note of where people seem to be from; written notes and collections of printed photos abound,) it's still good fun.
I think this book was an amazing and interesting book,because it talks about how detectives work and how criminals work too. The book talks about what detectives have to go through every time they try to solve a crime, it gives a insight and depiction of a crime scene, has a very good story line, and many facts and advices to solve crime.
A very fun and cute children's book about being a detective. I actually think that this book was a little LESS impressive than the spy handbook Usborne has, but it did a few things better too (consistent characters) which is why I'm giving it the same rating. Both great books.
A fun little book with some bizarre logic puzzles and some absolutely barking mad advice. The section on arresting people is particularly bonkers, not only encouraging kids to make citizen's arrests but listing several arm holds to subdue struggling suspects. Blimey.
