Illustrated kids puzzle books
Some visually beautiful kids mysteries to solve - each with full color illustrations. From the authors bio:
How did the idea for the collection come about?As a child, I read Pif gadget in which there were Inspector Ludo's investigations. But what bothered me when I found the culprit was that Inspector Ludo was the hero and not me. Later, I discovered the collection ["You are the hero", what a revelation!]... With the "C'est toi le detective" collection, I wanted to put the reader at the heart of the book, whether he himself be the investigator.
[What do the books involve?] It all starts with an imagined news item. There is a re-enactment scene with eleven suspects, each with different peculiarities (observing every detail is very important). The reader must decipher ten clues to exonerate the suspects one by one and unmask the culprit. I can only carry out my [mysteries] on a computer because the technique requires extreme precision. I have an eye for detail, I seek perfection in my illustrations, to create beautiful images, strong atmospheres, in addition to being interesting puzzles.
Note that the publisher also released special games editions that collect earlier stories in different formats.
