Lots of fun
I thought this book was a blast. It was completely unique- totally interactive as a story. It wasn't too difficult, but it was sort of an afternoon activity. And I solved it- miraculously enough!

Can you guess who did it?
The method of presenting the evidence here is unique. Starting with the initial Western Union Cablegram announcing the suicide of Bolitho Blane, most of the story unfolds as if from report of Detective Officer Kettering or from transcriptions of interviews between the detective and boat passengers.

This review is from: Murder Off Miami (A Murder Mystery) (Hardcover)
The method of presenting the evidence here is unique. Starting with the initial Western Union Cablegram announcing the suicide of Bolitho Blane, most of the story unfolds as if from report of Detective Officer Kettering or from transcriptions of interviews between the detective and boat passengers. Also included are photos of the passengers and crime scene, and letters written by the principles (which are somewhat difficult to read). A used matchstick and hair sample are included. The story moves along well, and a lot of the narrative is spent trying to figure out who was where between 7:30 and 8:30. Perhaps what is not conveyed is the personality of the passengers and especially of the detective. Perhaps if you are skilled you will be able to solve it yourself, but I know I was surprised when I broke the strip to reveal the killer. This had a little of the feel of the Ellery Queen TV show, set place in the sane time.
