Features: Casten Kleeman and Wolf Bremmer have collected and compiled 150 concise and gripping detective stories after years of effort. The plots are tense, the language vivid and humorous, and the endings often take readers by surprise, allowing their nerves to relax after the tension. Each story is about 4,000 words long, and reading one takes about five to six minutes. Readers can enjoy a full mental feast whether they are waiting for a bus, soaking in a bathtub, or in the minutes before falling asleep. A rising female star vaguely sees her glorious future, but the cold producer becomes an obstacle. In desperation, her impulsive boyfriend helps her greatly; an inheritance causes a brother and sister to fall out, as the suspicious brother suspects that his sister has tampered with the gift—a car he received—but in reality, the car is completely fine. Is the brother's suspicion unnecessary? At a costume party, the auction house manager is kidnapped, and he terrifyingly discovers that the criminals have a face identical to his own. What are they planning? Mariana witnesses a murder and, unfortunately, falls into the hands of the murderer. However, the Bible she carries saves her life. This book collects exciting short detective stories with unexpected endings that leave readers wanting more.
