A. C. Gordon (1855–1931)

Not that great of a book. The mysteries are either way too easy and obvious, or the solutions are iffy. What I mean is, in more then a few of the mysteries, the solution given seemed iffy and it seemed like there could have been other solutions as well.

These are good practice for young mystery solvers, with forty-one robberies, murders, etc. Though the evidence was occationally similar and/or repeated, and they became pretty predictable after a while (not to mention that the evidence is always circumstantial), young sleuths will enjoy trying to solve these. The answers to each mystery are included right after the mystery upside-down.
