Classic Usborne mysteries using intricate photographed scenes
A popular theme in the 90s for puzzle books was the densely populated photographic scenes, much like Wimmelbild but for the camera. Usborne created a few different series with this aesthetic, most involving puzzles of finding items or solving mysteries. In this series readers follow a mystery - a missing Professer etc - and review scenes such as a desk littered with items, a plant room, or an open suitcase - and slowly narrow in on the solution
Twenty detailed color photographs filled with clues and red herrings. Exciting and challenging mystery stories with brain teasing puzzles.
