Here's the idea. Readers take about five minutes to read a short mystery. Next, they must solve the question posed at the end by putting themselves in the shoes of the detective to examine the evidence and figure out who done it. All the clues they need are found somewhere in the story. A sampling of the mysteries to Cases are rated easy, moderate and challenging. Some mysteries will unravel faster than a dime-store sweater while others will take longer to solve. Solutions for all, however, are revealed at the back of the book.

A fun collection of short mysteries that the reader has to solve. Every story has a different detective and a different setting. Some of these are a lot harder than Encyclopedia Brown.
