SuitabookThe Curse of the Ancient Emerald
Leslie McFarlane
- Reading
- Try pausing at each riddle to let your reader propose a solution, then compare it with what the brothers discover. This keeps the puzzle active without needing to rush ahead.
- Themes
- Solving a suspected jewel thief’s riddles: Frank and Joe investigate robberies and receive threatening notes containing riddles; the Phantom is suspected, and the emerald may be the next target. The plot sets up a crime-solving puzzle, but the outline does not establish what conclusions the story reaches about the suspect or the thefts.
- Worth knowing
- The mystery includes a recently released ex-con suspected of theft, ominous riddles and threatening notes. Consider whether this level of crime-related suspense suits your reader.
