I had a patron come in with a request that I cannot answer.

I'm looking for an ADULT author or series similar to the 2-minute mysteries or
Juvie series Encyclopedia Brown. If I'm remembering right, they're short
stories with a separate answer page.

I'm hoping someone can help me.

Thank you

Ellery Queen did some minimysteries. I'm not sure these had one page of solution, but I think they did.

Perhaps the FIVE MINUTE MYSTERY titles by Ken Weber?

SALON MAGAZINE apparently also ran some of these, by Weber and others;
