Summary: Excellent mini-mystery book
Review: 80 Whodunits, most 2-3 pages in length. 350 pages in total. GREAT book for the car, train, or when you just need to pass a few minutes. These mini-mysteries are challenging and clever. In the event that you try your best and still can't figure out 'whodunit', the solutions are in the back of the book. I have read this book cover to cover several times in the two years that I have had it, and I STILL find it enjoyable, despite remembering the endings to most of them. The only drawback to this book (and I would imagine this is a trend that runs through the entire "Little Giant Book of..." series) is that the spine of the book is glued and cracks after a while, causing some pages to become loose and the book gets hard to hold onto, depending on where the spine crease develops. Despite that, this is a worthwhile purchase. I intend to purchase myself a new copy and send mine in a care package to a friend in the Armed Forces who is currently stationed in Iraq. Due to it's size and price, this would make an excellent care package item.

Summary: More engaging mini-mysteries from the master.
Review: The stories in this book are much shorter than his regular length mini-mysteries and are generally easier to solve. Each case might take the average person about 15 minutes to solve.

Summary: Hy Praise!
Review: This is a great book. I am a math teacher always looking for resources to motivate Junior High and High School students. The students couldn't get enough of these mysteries. I wish there were about a dozen more of them. Fantastic work.
