Five short mystery stories make up
the Three-Minute

designed to give the reader enough clues to solve the case. Once you think you
have
the mystery figured out, you turn the page, and see if the solution is the one you came up with to solve the case.

Store owner Alice Mendoza needs to
forget about her insurance claim to focus on the questions of Police Detective
Carol Simmons. In “Think Globally, Steal Locally” an armed robbery of a store that
specializes in hand-crafted items from all over the world has few suspects.
Stacy is the new widow in “A Dying
Clue.” Detective Laura McKinley has to figure out what role, if any the restaurant
partly owned by Stacy’s husband, Matt, played in the death.
The Boss is dead in “Cream of The
Crop.” Detectives Wilson and Handler have to go figure out who killed Mr.
Baldwin at work.
As in the first tale, robbery is
also the subject of the “All-Knowing Eye” where Detective Pamela Yates tries to
catch the thief that hit the Nyman House. A character name change part of the
way through the story is not a clue though the error does mar the read a little
bit.
It is a far different world than
Officer Dana Cooke is used to as she does perimeter duty in “Models of Bad
Behavior.” Blending into the background and being ignored by several
suspects who just can’t be quiet could be a very good thing for her career
wise.
The tales in the Three-Minute
Minute Mysteries Bonus Pack are all good ones. Author Stephen D.
Rodgers makes sure that there are multiple possible suspects in each tale who
are capable of various crimes. An entertaining and fast read, the book moves
quickly and offers quite a few surprises.

have no idea now how I came across it, but am sure I saw it online somewhere.
