Cleverly Crafty 5 Minute Mysteries

The book I ordered as a present, Cleverly Crafty Five-Minute Mysteries was delivered promptly during the busy Christmas season and was in perfect shape, well packaged etc. The book is very interesting with short but realistic scenarios of various crimes or mysteries. They are well written stories as well as challenging, and provide an outlet of entertainment and creative thinking.

I own all Five-Minute Mysteries books. The first couple were pretty good, but the last several were just awful, with unoriginal and mediocre problems. I was about to give up on this series, when I decided to give it one last try -- and this one did not disappoint! The problems are creative and interesting (and fairly difficult -- but definitely still solvable if you read the text carefully), and even the writing seems much crisper this time around! Ken Weber is definitely back in form. I look forward to the next one!
