Great Quicksolve Whodunit Puzzles

If you like mysteries and sly murderers, this is the book you want to read. This book was so tempting when I read it, that I couldn't put the book down. You just want to know what's going to happen next. The details for the clues are very, very small. Sometimes all the clues are in the pictures! This book makes me want to read. If you really like detectives, murderers, and surprise twists, this is the right book for you! -- Chenda Anne Bunkasem

Great Book

This is a good book. The mysteries are not too hard, but you have to think. I babysit a 3rd grader and she loves trying to solve the mysteries. It provides a lot of entertainment for young adults and gives them a feeling of accomplishment when they can solve the mystery on their own. Only complaint is I wish it was a longer book. You become addicted to trying to solve these mysteries.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I love the mystery and suspence. This book helped me to improve my awarness skills. This book also made me think of clues that I never would have thought of before. I also love reading the answers to the mysterys because they were very surprising.One of my faviort mysterys was called "Country Killing". The story told a suspects story of a murder. Dr.Quicksolve showed how the story was unreliable and why he belived that they suspect was guilty of murder. The worst part of the book was the mysterys that Junior solved. I did not like them because they were not as interesting. He solved more childish mysterys.Jim Sukach made the charters come alive. There were pitcures of the charters, but the writing really made them come alive. I felt like I was in the story while I was reading. The conflicts and resolutions in the story wre amazing! I loved the interesting conflicts. Each story was surprising and well thought out. I loved reading the resolutions. They were very clever. Reading them made me look at the other stories in a new light. By reading the resolutins I gained new skills and a new way to look at things.
