Our 95th issue has a lot of fun stuff—starting off with a pair of original mysteries by Robert Lopresti and Mindy Quigley (thanks to Acquiring Editors Michael Bracken an Barb Goffman). Also on the mystery side, we have a pair of classic novels by Hulbert Footner R. Austin Freeman, plus a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
