by Dennis Wheatley

A Mystery/Thriller, 1986 by Mayflower Books, 101 Pages 

What I Didn’t Like:

• There are things used in the solution that you were never told. A few of them I had actually notated as questions, hoping they’d be answered. They were never addressed and then they turned out to be essential to figuring out the solution. That was frustrating.
• The handwriting on at least 2 pages is impossible to read. It still provided information but not from squinting at it.
• The newspapers contained lots of unnecessary information. In a few cases I saw no reason to include them at all.

What I Did Like:

• Collecting all the facts and notating them was fun! You’re provided with a lot of things you don’t need so weeding out all of that is entertaining in itself. I’d recommend keeping a notebook or something separate from the book to avoid having to flip around as much.
• The solution makes sense and is clear. The details are provided and unarguable. 
• The format is great. The letters, photos, and clippings all add to the fun of solving this one.

Who Should Read This One:

• Mystery fans who want to challenge themselves to figure out an old mystery with notes from the investigation.

My Rating: 3 Stars

• The presentation of the information and the missing facts/answers will appeal to a more niche audience.
