Asimov's Mysteries

Sadly Asimov was not as good a writing mysteries as he thought he was. Of the multiple stories in this book I would consider only 2 of them good, the rest are decidedly sub-par. The thing that irked me most was that after most stories, he posted a letter from a reader questioning his reasoning in the story and his response to the question. They are framed in such as way as to illuminate the brilliance of Asimov's mystery writing mind, but the fact that the majority of the mysteries are neither illuminating, nor brilliant is just evidence of Asimov's huge ego and is at best, comical.
