Review # 1 was written on 2013-06-07 00:00:00 Francisco Horna For one, I think its stupid that they broke the book into so many sections for "Alibi", "Evidence", etc, and it makes it an unnecessary pain in the ass to read even a single case since you keep flipping through the pages to find the relevant evidence. It'd've been more efficient to just have it on the next page or in the same section right after the mystery story. Also, the mystery and evidence themselves are stupid. For example, in the bellboy case where the hotel worker Scotty killed the rich man to steal his belongings, a fake evidence was the missing pipe from the rich man's wife's case which had blood and skin pieces. Umm, what the fuck? How/why would Scotty even get access to that to frame her? Its hard to believe he'd have access to it and to so readily be able to plant that evidence. In addition, they gave us no evidence for who picked up the order that was called in - the description implied Scotty picked up the man's order but we learn later that Scotty was the one who called it in. In that case, the evidence should've mentioned *who* picked up the phone order, as that's likely the last person who spoke to the killed rich man.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-06 00:00:00 Kelly Ligue Não é um romance, não é de fantasia, não é sobre uma aventura... São pequenos quebra-cabeças sobre crimes que o leitor tem que resolver. Tenho este livro já faz alguns anos e nunca consegui decifrar todos os casos que eram apresentados. Recentemente, decidi voltar a tentar decifrar cada um dos casos e fiquei surpreendida comigo mesma. Durante duas a três semanas (só decifrei um ou dois a cada semana) estive entretida a resolver crimes que pareciam perfeitos mas que, no fundo, tinham as suas falhas. Senti-me uma verdadeira Sherlock Holmes de todas as vezes que lia duas ou três pistas e a solução surgia-me na mente! É claro que nem todos os casos são simples e algumas soluções estão mesmo "escarrapachados" à nossa frente mas não as conseguimos ver. Houve momentos em que me vi atrapalhada para conseguir achar a solução e outros errei. No entanto, é um mini livro que nos faz passar um bom bocado e nos exercita o pensamento.
