Almost Perfect Crimes: Mini-Mysteries for You to Solve by Lucy Corvino, Hy Conrad

2.0

An interesting idea that didn't quite work, this book is made up of stories with various types of clues, a section to put the clues together and then a section with the answers. If the clues had immediately followed the stories it would have been better. Or if the stories had been in alphabetical order like everything. Trying to find each thing was just a lesson in patience.

I have always LOVED to read the "solve-it-yourself" type crime stories. This collection (and this author in general) is fantastic, they do a great job with providing hints and clues in the stories themselves, and then providing evidence and analyses that you can read, to help you along as well. This particular collection was one I read as a child, and I loved revisiting it- I still remembered a couple of the mysteries, so I guess it was a little bit like cheating!
Honestly, this would be a great and easy read for an adult or kid of any age. Definitely check out other books by this author if you enjoyed this one!

Truth be told, I never solved any of the mysteries... I cheated and went to see the answer. Maybe I was too lazy :)
