Crime Stories - Short Stories Full of Riddles to Read Aloud and Guess

Go on a manhunt together

This read-aloud book contains over 30 exciting crime stories waiting to be solved. The cases involve mysterious thefts, unusual crimes, deception and other curious events. Each story presents its own riddle and invites readers to search for clues together and identify the culprit.

Reading aloud, listening and guessing together

The stories are deliberately kept short, making them well suited for shared read-aloud and guessing sessions. After reading, you can discuss together who might be the culprit and which clues lead to the solution. Anyone who doesn't find the right trail can check the solution at the end of each story.

Entertaining crime stories for seniors

The manageable length of the stories allows for individual guessing sessions without needing to follow a complete story over a longer period, making the book suitable for short activity sessions too.

For people with dementia and seniors

The crime stories can be used as an activity offer for seniors and people with dementia. Guessing and discussing the cases together offers conversation opportunities and invites people to share their own theories.

For home and senior care settings

The book can be used without special preparation and is suitable for read-aloud sessions with family, friends or carers.

Senior-friendly design

The handy book features large, easy-to-read print, tailored to the needs of older readers.
