Summary "Minute Mysteries [Detectograms]" by H. A. Ripley is a collection of short detective stories written in the early 20th century. This engaging work revolves around Professor Fordney, a criminologist sharing intriguing cases that illustrate the often simplistic nature of criminal detection. Each story presents a unique scenario where readers can test their own deductive skills, with conclusions grounded in logical reasoning rather than more fantastical elements typical of genre fiction. At the start of this collection, readers are introduced to the premise of the stories through a foreword and preface that emphasize the accessibility of solving these cryptic crimes. The opening portion features Professor Fordney discussing the nature of crime with Chief Inspector Kelley and his nephew, Jim Barry. Key points are made about the often straightforward resolution of crimes, largely due to the misguided efforts of criminals. A sample mystery is presented, showcasing the dynamic between Fordney and various characters he encounters, setting the tone for the subsequent narratives that invite readers to match wits with the protagonists while unraveling the nuances of each case.
