AC Gordon

1970s

Large collectsions of original stories in the minute mystery format.

AC Gordon

A. C. Gordon delivers a few books in a very straightforward classic minute-mystery format. The stories are a little dated, but each book is densely packed with double page mysteries to solve, followed by the solution just afterwards.

The puzzles are usually told from the authors point of view with "you" being the protagonist. These were updated under the "Solve the Mystery" format in the mid 1990's (also listed).
