John O'Brien.
Each brief tale in this clever clutch of riddle stories ends on a recto page with the mantra "What's the truth, the whole truth? And where's the lie?" while a turn of the page offers the solution and an explanation. The drawings frequently provide clues to the stories, which range from easy to medium-hard. Impeccable and informative concise notes are provided for each tale.
