Solve twenty clever cases alongside early-twentieth-century private detective Medea Thorne, who provides all the details but conveniently omits the solutions. Using the case background, setting, list of suspects—even the elegant illustrations!—you can put the clues together to solve cases like "The Topiary Garden," where a stranger has recently confessed to murdering the gardener, who's been missing for a decade, or "Death in the Fountain," where a masquerade ball turns macabre. Additional clues and solutions lie in the back pages, but be sure to read between the lines— armchair sleuthing has never been this fun!
