A Good One,
By A Customer
This review is from: Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey (Paperback)
This may in fact be the best of the entire "Choose Your Own Adventure" series, which is saying something, since this was always an interesting series, especially in its early days. Packard is the master of the genre, and the tangled web herein is suspenseful and atmospheric. Lots of fun for kids.

These are the best!,
This review is from: WHO KILLED HARLOWE THROMBEY (Choose Your Own Adventure, No 9) (Paperback)
Choose Your Own Adventure books, I mean the Bantam Books ones, are the best! I want them all! It's amazing - the earlier ones are from around 1980 or even before, and can still be enjoyed thoroughly, as if they were written yesterday!

This review is from: Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey (Paperback)
Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey (Choose Your Own Adventure #9) by Edward Packard is about you, a young private investigator, being summoned by a wealthy plastics magnate who fears he's about to be murdered by his wife. After he falls dead at a small dinner engagement from drinking poisoned brandy it's up to you to find out who did it.
At first I was impressed by the lay-out of this book as there's very minimal jumping around but about halfway through the cracks began to show. The initial path I chose resulted in the narrator making deductions based on evidence I had never read. In fact my character solved the case bringing up evidence I had not read to explain situations (like characters being each others' alibi or character's accusing each other) I also hadn't read. The book solved itself. My initial choices managed to not even tell me when the poison was slipped into Thrombey's glass, which is the most important aspect of the case in figuring out the culprit. I wish this mystery had been laid out better, had let me solve it instead of doing it for me, and that there had been more suspects. Another problem is after your initial reading there isn't much else here. If you're like me you enjoy exploring all of the possible avenues after the end of your first reading. But since neither the murderer nor the evidence changes and the mystery itself isn't very complex, there's very little to read other than finding out the same things in slightly different ways. The art by Paul Granger is fine. It does it's job even if the narrator does indeed look like a 70's singer/game show host.
