Personally, I loved this book, and I even read the old series. I read both, and both have a great style of humor- Mrs. White's cooking always makes me laugh- and while clues may be a little sparse, they stories are usually entertaining enough and will usually make you think, and I much prefer this series to the old one.

Like its predecessor Clue Mysteries: 15 Whodunits to Solve in Minutes, this book suffers from mysteries that don't work as puzzles, and aren't of much interest in any other way. In most of the 15 stories, "who done it?" is obvious, as much of the story is about the killer's motive. In others, the solution is entirely arbitrary, and any of the other characters could just as easily have been declared the culprit. The humorous aspects of the stories had already started to fall flat for me before I'd finished the first volume. I guess I shouldn't have ordered both at the same time!
