JIG-SAW MYSTERIES
In a new series called "Jig-saw Mysteries," tho Harrap publishing firm has combined jig-saw puzzles with mystery stories. The method of reading the book and using tho puzzlie is described:—
"The last few pages of the story are enclosed in a paper tissue which must be broken before they can be read. When the reader reaches the tissue he has in his possession all tho essential clues, and will havo formed his own opinion as to the identity of the murderer. "Now is the time to extract the Jigsaw Puzzle (size 11 x Si inches) from its carton at the back of the book. There are 150 pieces, which, when fitted into their correct positions, present in colour a reconstruction of tho dramatic climax of the story described in the closing .pages. Below the picture is a short description of the incident portrayed, which, while revealing the criminal, to those who havo followed tho story closely, will not spoil tho interest of tho plot for those who have not yet read tho book."
