As a kid I loved Encyclopedia Brown. As I got older I moved on to more sophisticated mysteries like Nancy Drew, then Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.

File Under: 13 Suspicious Incidents  takes place within the larger Lemony Snicket series of All The Wrong Questions. Daniel Handler keeps to the noir tone of the current series in this collection of 13 different mysteries that the reader has to try to figure out based on the short story they’ve read and then flip to the back to read the answer. It’s like edgy Encyclopedia Brown.

This is a quick read and just the thing when you are not sure what you want to read next.
