It's Elementary, My Dear Watson...

I just love a good whodunit! I'm not talking about those new shows you see on TV with all those fancy effects and loads of car chase scenes with mindless carnage and destruction. Those shows are not really my cup of tea at all.

What I'm talking about is shows like Murder She Wrote and Midsomer Murders. You know, the kind where there is no violence involved, just good old investigative knowhow from the main characters of the show. The kind where the most obvious suspects are really the innocent ones and the good ones with no motive turns out to be the culprit.

All those plots, twists and turns that go on as the detective tries to slowly eliminate one suspect after the other. Now those are the kind of movies I just thrive upon. I normally picture myself as the main character trying to figure out just who the crook is and half the time I'm totally off the mark! Hehehe

That really is why I just love this site called the 5 minute mystery, a site featured on the ABC news. It's just perfect to cater for the amateur sleuth in me. It's a site that takes mystery solving to a whole new level by turning it into a game. Every Monday and Friday, you get a whole new short 5 minute mystery to solve ranging from diverse topics such as pets, geography, sport and lots more with various levels of difficulty.

You also get a chance to compare your solving abilities with others out there. As you go through the 5 minute mysteries, you get points for finding clues as to who the culprit is. To get a top score, all you need to do is find all the clues and solve the mystery.

One of the stories that caught my eye was 'The Potter Mystery'. It was pretty well written yet with a mystery that was quite perplexing that it had me stumped. Just what a mystery lover like me fancies :D If you're a mystery fan, love whodunits and have this secret passion to be Sherlock Holmes, Jessica Fletcher or even Tom Barnaby, well, this is the site for you!
