This collection of twelve short mysteries is a sort of follow-up to/continuation of [b:The Old Man in the Corner 353830 The Old Man in the Corner Emmuska Orczy https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348421484s/353830.jpg 344029], with the same man in the corner of the ABC shop, with his newspaper, his pictures, and his cheese cake. The lady reporter is even less conspicuous in this volume. Each short mystery is presented by the known facts and then given the man's deductive solution. I enjoyed each one and tried to see if I could guess the crime before reading the solution. Squeaky clean except for the part about having some murders spoken of...no language.Recommended for mystery lovers, Sherlock Holmes fans, and those who don't have a ton of reading time at a stretch.
