Five-minute Crime Lateral Thinking Puzzles

Book excerpt: Part of a range of pocket-sized puzzle books for adults. This book contains a collection of the world's best lateral thinking puzzles, hidden deep in the heart of 12 cunningly-written crime stories. Each short story is about a different crime - be it about a burglary, a case of tax evasion, a murder or a suspected fraud - and takes around five minutes to read. How long it will take to answer the questions posed at the end of each story, depends on whether you work it out for yourself, or resort to deciphering the mirror-writing solution provided after each story.
