This is a fun collection of 25 very short mysteries, or rather puzzles in short story form. At the end of each story the readers are asked to try and work it out for themselves before turning the page to see the solution.

The stories are varied, some from the point of view of the police or detective, some from the point of view of a third party, or even that of the criminal. There's even one from the point of view of a dog. The solution is almost never obvious at first glance, but most can be solved after some careful thought. Two of the stories even included code-breaking, which I found very interesting.

The language varies with every story. Some are mostly dialogue, some are heavy in vocabulary specific to the setting.
