Description

A collection of bite‑size mysteries invites listeners to become the detective, testing the same instincts a seasoned investigator would use. Each case is presented as a concise “detectogram,” a puzzle built on careful observation, human psychology and the occasional twist of motive. The foreword frames the experience as a mental workout, encouraging you to think like the criminal as well as the cop.

Guided by the seasoned Chief Inspector Kelley and the brilliant Professor Fordney, the stories blend academic insight with street‑wise sleuthing. Their dialogue shows how simple, well‑honed reasoning often outpaces elaborate schemes, offering a clear window into the mind of both offender and investigator. As you follow each scenario, you’ll sharpen your own analytical skills while enjoying the satisfying click of a well‑crafted puzzle.
