Not all of us can be Sherlock. Most of us are ordinary people with boring minds full of distracting rubbish, like knowing the earth goes round the sun.
But this book is filled with 70 specially commissioned puzzles designed to test your analytic abilities, hone your deductive sense, and stretch your capacity for logic and reason, so that one day you too might infer a man’s profession from the length of his stride, or a lady’s state of mind from the condition of her handkerchief.
