Overview

Archie's Antiques Mystery Puzzles: Books 1 & 2

Archie's Antiques is a charming fictional antique shop set in a small town somewhere in Australia. And inside Archie's are a wonderful group of characters; Sam, the knowledgeable owner of Archie's, his clever friend, the retired policeman, Edward Destranger, and his young niece, Sandra. Also, you will find a surfeit of mysteries and puzzles.

Archie's not only attracts all sorts of curious questions but also interesting people. It welcomes through its doors a parade of charlatans, frauds, and pranksters, who arrive with a variety of dishonest schemes and ingenious tricks. It also attracts ordinary townsfolk, and Sam's family, and friends who bring their troubles and problems through its door in search of answers.

Robin Hillard's Archie's Antiques Mystery Puzzles books 1 & 2 are combined here, and this book contains fifty-six small mysteries, or puzzles, that the shop's staff, and you the reader, can investigate and solve.

The mysteries in this book often include intriguing snippets of general knowledge that may entice you to look deeper into things, or they may involve exposing the type of scams that can easily take in the unwary.

As Sam, Edward, Sandra, their family, friends, and Archie's customers struggle with these mysteries you can try to match your brains against theirs, in finding a way around every problem, and a solution to every mystery.

About the Author

Robin Hillard grew up in the Western Australian goldfields and has spent many years living in provincial cities and country towns of varying sizes during a career spent teaching in Australia, England, and Canada.
She has now settled, with her husband, in Toowoomba, also known as the "Garden City" of Queensland. It is also well served with antique shops-providing the inspiration for Archie's Antiques-while Robin's own fertile mind and interest in the strange and curious have created "Archie's Antiques Mystery Puzzles."
Toowoomba also provides the basis for the Australian town of Ridgeway, which features in her murder mystery/cozy novel "Ridgeway Murder," due for release in early 2014.
