Every puzzle combines features of the traditional whodunit (physical clues, red herrings, means, motive, opportunity, time sequences) with logic puzzles (true-false statements, matching suspects with occupations, even a little math).
Five-Minute Mini-Mysteries includes 30 cases, for example:
- The Case of the Suspicious Fire: Did the owner try to burn down his own store? Or was he really home asleep?
- The Megaplast Mystery: Someone’s threatening the life of The Megaplast Corporation’s vice president. You’ll get some confusing facts, but if you use your smarts, you’ll arrive at the answer.
Can you find the culprit in each mystery?
*Five-Minute Mini-Mysteries available from UK Amazon and US Amazon.
