Eight Detectives

3.5-stars from me. Enjoyed the different closed-door mysteries and the twist for each, plus the intriguing mathematical hypothesis and tale that wrapped around the mysteries. The book is like a candy box of murders, differently flavoured and wrapped. It's a clever way to house and thread short stories together. Ultimately, because there were many characters, detectives, suspects, and victims, the reading is from a distance and the ending had less emotional punch. Still an enjoyable and unique read.
