FREE delivery: March 9 - 15 Details

If you think you've got what it takes to be a crime scene investigator, then buy this book and consider yourself hired!

The worst of society is getting away with murder and only your keen sense of logic and sharp eye for suspicious details can stop them. As the chief crime scene investigator, you must correctly determine the answer to the question at the end of each of the 65 crime stories inside the book. In it you will peer over the medical examiner's shoulder as an autopsy is performed, you will listen carefully to the testimony of a toolmark expert, you will evaluate all of the gory details in front of you until you're sure that you can solve the puzzle. Each of the crime stories will test your knowledge of DNA analysis, suspect identification, forensic pathology, toxicology, and more.

If you're any good, you'll catch the perpetrator before they can get away with more crimes!

An Fun, Original & Entertaining Set of 65 Forensic Mysteries

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2020

Always dreamed of becoming a detective or private investigator trying to put together the clues to identify, locate and apprehend a criminal or work out the motive in a baffling case? Well, now you can from the comfort of your own home in a series of 65 crime-based brain-teasers that require you to piece together the puzzle from forensics through to DNA analysis, toxicology through to pathology. Employing and combining the skills and concepts of gut instinct, logic, perceptiveness, judgement, and analysis, each of the short forensic mysteries are independent of one another and vary in difficulty meaning there is something to suit all ages and abilities.

Using a keen eye for intricate detail, the puzzler must assess each condensed tale of greed, revenge or even good old depravity and using deductive reasoning as well as the clues and forensic details throughout the story answer the challenging question related to the crime which is posed at the end.

An original and unique book catering to the crime connoisseurs out there. Fun, simple and relatively lighthearted, this is a book I thoroughly enjoyed and one that can be dipped in and out of whenever the feeling takes you. Recommended to those with an interest in crime-solving techniques, crime fiction and true crime cases and/or those seeking something different to tax the brain a little. I felt it was accessible with well thought out situations to investigate so if this intrigues then grab a copy; to be quite frank, it would be criminal not to! Many thanks to Fair Winds Press for an ARC.

Great fun puzzles

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2020

60 Second Brain Teasers Crime Puzzles is a great fun read. It consists of 65 puzzles which each have a short scenario with a question posed at the end that ask the reader to solve the crime. As the puzzle should be read and solved within about a minute or so, a lot of the puzzles are not too challenging (as long as you are a crime fiction fan and know something on the topic) as the clues to help solve the crime are found in the scenario.
Some of the questions are more difficult than others and a couple I think that even the great Poirot may find challenging! I also got stuck on a couple due to the the fact that the author is American and I wasn’t aware of the answers (this wouldn’t be a problem for some more au fait with American culture and the legal differences from the UK).
This book could be read in its entirety in a couple of sittings or be dipped in and out of, either way it is a very enjoyable read.
Thanks to NetGalley for a Kindle copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2020

I enjoy reading crime novels so the premise of this book really appealed to me. Short forensic mysteries, normally around 2 pages to challenge the reader to answer the question at the end of the mystery. 65 puzzles to solve with the answers at the back of the book. Unfortunately I found the puzzles either too obvious or a total guess and would have preferred more of a riddle to try and work the answer out. Great idea and sure that in the right setting could have a lot of fun but didn't quite achieve what I was looking for.

Reading the book on a kindle I also struggled to go back and forth to the answer page but maybe that was just my lack of technique. In general I found the book a little tiresome to read and quickly got fed up due to the cases not being challenging enough.

How fast can you solve them?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2020

This is quite a cute book, if you can say that about solving crimes. 65 short cases to be solved within a minute or two. The cases are not that hard to figure out if you read through them carefully, and use your general knowledge. I still think they are nice brain teasers, and not much time or effort needed, so when you’d like a break from what you’re doing, this is a nice distraction. I think it’ll work well for a younger audience, and probably school classes too. Since the book is called ‘60- second...’ the name already states that the cases are not that complicated. There is no point in expecting hardcore criminal cases with lots of forensic evidence. I shared some cases with a few friends, and it works well during game nights.

Great fun

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2020

If you enjoy puzzles that make you think outside the box then this is a book for you. It consists of 65 short stories each with a question at the end. Some are fairly simple to solve whilst others really make you think, but don’t worry if you can’t solve them as the answers are all available at the end. These would make an excellent alternative to quiz questions or even to liven up a pandemic lockdown (or any other time) video call with friends & family. If you enjoy reading or watching crime then this is a book for you. I was given a free copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Fun Challenge

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2020

I really enjoyed this book. It’s the type of book you can dip in to and read a few pages and then come back later and read some more. Alternatively you can read lots in the one sitting. I am always trying to work out mysteries and enjoy the feeling of being right. This book gives you a scene and then asks you a question at the end. All the information is in the page you have just read, you just need to work it out. Definitely recommend! Thank you #netgalley.

Loved it.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2020

WOW, I loved this book.

I read 2-minute mysteries when I was young, and it made me think of them but in an up to date way with the rise of Forensics. The Crime Puzzles are short and do get you thinking.

The book could be read in one sitting or dipped into at various times. It would be great for a Crime Solving Party.

The only bit I didn't like was the fact that with the digital book I had to scroll down to get to the answers.
