Description
Tap your inner detective with these 50 tales of intrigue. Unlike our other Whodunits, the mysteries in this book are divided into two levels. In the first level, the vignettes are shorter (3-5 pages) and straightforward, with one clue provided for mystery solving support. Once comfortable with these, tackle the second level mysteries. Longer scenarios, complicated events, and less clear evidence culminate to provide a greater challenge to your deduction skills. Additional clues are available at this level, but use selectively. There may be a few red herrings to test your tenacity. Worth mentioning, one noted use of profanity on pg. 56. A quick spot check did not reveal others, but be aware, there may be others. Includes comprehensive solutions. 304 pgs. ~ Deanne

Looking around, Jones could see traces of dirt on the windowsill. There was a barren flowerbed outside the window with several large footprints in it, scattered with broken glass. Inside, a faint muddy footprint was visible on the floor, the same boot or shoe as the ones in the bed. He glanced at Drummond's feet, which were several sizes smaller. A scrap of red thread or cloth was caught on one of the shards of glass that clung to the frame. Well,' said Inspector Jones. I think I've seen enough here. William Drummond, you are under arrest.'"
