At 48 pages in I direly wished I could get my money back on this book. The editing is awful, and most of the mysteries are dreadful. In one case a man is killed by cyanide, but at one point a character says arsenic. The solution to the story is, the killer had to be the only person with higher education, because he'd be the only one knowledgeable enough to extract cyanide from cherry pits. One story ends abruptly, but with two lines from another story tagged on at the end. In one story the local police are talking about acquiring "new fangled technology", like two-way radios, making you presume that the story happens in maybe the 1950s. Later on someone mentions buying those radios online. What the hell kind of planet is this happening on?
Though ruinously edited, the writing itself is stilted and unnatural, no one acts like a normal human would act. The best of the mysteries are mediocre, the worst are laughable. This killer's motive was that he didn't like the victim. This guy couldn't be the robber, because he had asthma and the building was really dusty.
At one point a suspect knows all sorts of facts about a theft, but this is not a clue, she was just told all about it without the reader's knowledge.
I finally ground my way through the book, and don't know why I bothered. The best of the stories were lackluster, the worst were infuriating. There was one actual story with food-based riddles, and the solution was, literally, the person who liked food did it. Is this for kindergarteners?? And at one point there's a puzzle where you're supposed to figure out that the puzzle was a joke with no answer. Hope you didn't waste any time trying to solve that one!
Just terrible mysteries and editing that feels (bafflingly) rushed to publish. I regret spending my money on it!

This book is in serious need of an editor. There are blaring mistakes that a good one would have caught immediately. I'm so disappointed that a print book would be so poorly put together.
Some examples of mistakes:
One of the reoccurring detectives, introduced at the beginning of the book, has a name change in one of the stories. A sentence from one story with different characters repeats in another story, right at the end so it looks like part of the mystery you're trying to solve is cut off. Various typos, mostly grammatical, but it's basic stuff, like ending a quotation with a period instead of a comma.
I've only gotten through 10 of the mysteries and I'm noticing that some of them don't quite flow correctly. Some of the wording is weird, so when you read the answer you're left with a feeling of not having a clear picture of what the author was trying to get across.
I read through the rest of the book, mostly to see what other errors there were. The mysteries themselves were fine. Some were very obvious, some weren't very logical, and some were just straight up confusing. A few other errors included
-Using the incorrect hint for the mystery
-Using an incorrect pronoun for a character
-Using an incorrect name in the answers
-Incomplete words (firep instead of fireplace, seriously?)
-My favorite: Cutting off a sentence in one of the answers, so the motive isn't explained.
It would be a mediocre book without the amateur mistakes.
