Reviews

[Geno · Rating 4 out of 5]

Es muy interesante, sobre todo los casos de la primera parte, más cortos y bastante más deducibles. Los de la segunda son un tanto liosos y algunos sin ninguna lógica.

Genial libro para agudizar la mente

[Troy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Two stars seems harsh but I really do think "it was ok". Following the Encyclopedia Brown model, Whodunits presents a series of short (2 - 4 page) mystery puzzles in which clues are hidden for the reader to find. To help out the reader, the mysteries also have a one word hint at the end. In theory, a careful reader will be able to uncover who did what and when but for several of the mysteries, the reasoning was somewhat stretched.

One interesting twist to the book is that there are several "Level 2" mysteries which are longer and more complicated. Here the reader is given several extra clues to help solve the case. As with the shorter puzzles, some were solid, others were disappointingly vague.
