Great for Adults Too!!!
FANTASTIC! I buy this book for every baby shower I go to. I cannot get enough of this fun children's book about animal poop with a dash of revenge! After trying to buy this book online at Borders, I got sent a gift card in the mail instead for the amount the book was--6 months later--and a note saying it was on backorder. Better price and faster delivery with Amazon!

Perfect for the junior detective
My 6 year old son loves mysteries, but many books are to long to keep his attention. The mysteries in this book are perfect for him, he understands them and figures most of them out.

SOOOOOOO disapointed
I really like the wicked women series, and until this book I could have recommended all of them as being a good read. This one greatly departs from the others in both subject matter and quality of writing. I was especially horrified by MaryJanice Davidson's (dare I say it?) pathetic attempt at a murder mystery. As I am a big fan of hers, it pains me to have to say that, but I am hoping ...

Better than watching TV
Instead of mindlessly watching TV tonight, why not try a Whodunit mystery? These mysteries are fun and challenging -- think Encyclopedia Brown for an older crowd. Each one has clever twists and it's great fun to exercise your power of deduction. Each mystery is set up like a court case where the reader puts herself in the shoes of a juror. The general information about the case is given, ...

You are passing false information.
You quote The Horn Book as saying, "...the math volume's story problems are mired in a format that places all puzzles within a tedious magical kingdom named Pymm." This is not about my book. It does not include math problems. I have never heard of a magical kingdom called Pymm. You also advertise a Cool Chemistry book of some kind you say I have written. I know nothing about that, either. I ...

This book is part of a large collection of books. These books make you look for clues some which are very small but make you say "duh." These books can be very addictive and make you want more and more.

Great sleuthing fun, but this is no kid's book.
The intricate plots and clever scenarios of the mysteries in this book make for fascinating reading.Forsooth is one erudite sleuth.But show me the nine-year old who can figure out these mysteries, and I'm in the market for adoption! These are highly sophisticated stories that deserve a place on the adult mystery shelf.

In an extortion note, they promise to give the exams back if the suspensions are lifted. Principal Graham Marshall is furious and will not under any circumstances rescind the suspensions.

My 11 year old LOVES this book.
I bought this book for my 11 year old daughter after finishing the Encyclopedia Brown series. Where Encyclopedia Brown was somewhat dated, this is right on for today's kids. She loved Jonah, the main character, and could identify with him. The mysteries are good and interesting, and the short format makes it great to read a couple of mysteries before bed. I HIGHLY recommend this book and am ready ...

Excellent Dinner Theatre Material
We did this play as a Dinner Theatre in our community and got rave reviews. The script is funny and suspensful and utilizes audience participation. It is a small town who-dunnit that has a surprise ending. Very well written. We utilized one set with minimal prop changes. There is good character development and it is difficult to guess 'who dunnit'. Lots of fun and laughs. I would compare it to ...

Hy Praise!
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.

What a wonderful trip down memory lane
It is always a pleasure to see what the authors we love read. Most of the short stories in this compilation were not new to me, but what a joy to read them again. The few stories I had not yet read were also enjoyable and introduced me to a few new authors. This is the sort of book to keep in your car, or on hand for those times when a short story is just the thing to keep your mind working ...

The Little How-To Book That Could
Of the dozen "how to" books on mystery writing I've read, most wasted too many trees, and on Vancouver Island, that's important. One big-name author provided only a single worthwhile nugget of advice in four hundred pages: don't write about boring people. But Canadians are very innovative, especially about saving time. Didn't we invent Velcro? Pablum? The Bloody Caesar? Recently my colleague ...

Good. But not as good as the old series.
Clue Mysteries is a great book. I love how the character names and motives are the same ones given in their character descriptions on the insert in the game box. But, the comedy falls short to the comedy in the now out-of-print book series created by A.E.Parker. The mysteries are well written, and much longer than those of the original series. I really love the way Cameron describes the ...
