These are good practice for young mystery solvers, with forty-one robberies, murders, etc. Though the evidence was occationally similar and/or repeated, and they became pretty predictable after a while (not to mention that the evidence is always circumstantial), young sleuths will enjoy trying to solve these. The answers to each mystery are included right after the mystery upside-down. (
