Synopsis

Before the Baudelaires became orphans, before he encountered A Series of Unfortunate Events, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket was a boy discovering the mysteries of the world.

Match wits with Lemony Snicket to solve thirteen mini-mysteries.

Paintings have been falling off of walls, a loud and loyal dog has gone missing, a specter has been seen walking the pier at midnight -- strange things are happening all over the town of Stain'd-By-The-Sea. Called upon to investigate thirteen suspicious incidents, young Lemony Snicket collects clues, questions witnesses, and cracks every case. Join the investigation and tackle the mysteries alongside Snicket, then turn to the back of the book to see the solution revealed.

A delicious read that welcomes readers into Lemony Snicket's world of deep mystery, mysterious depth, deductive reasoning, and reasonable deductions.

Goodreads review by Justyn on April 06, 2014

I've made no secret of my love of Lemony Snicket and this book does nothing to lessen that love. This book takes place within the larger Lemony Snicket series of "All The Wrong Questions", a prequel series to "Series of Unfortunate Events". Daniel Handler keeps to the noir tone of the current series......more

Goodreads review by Laura on August 05, 2016

The reason this is three stars instead of four is that I listened to the audiobook instead of reading the hard copy. There's nothing wrong with the audiobook--it's read by a cast of narrators that would top the all star list of any hipster parent (I'm identifying you as a hipster parent if you can i......more

I loved this so much! I'm glad that Mr. Snicket decided to write this. :) I will say that I think it would be a good idea to read at least the first book in the All The Wrong Questions series... maybe even the second book too, before reading this. I think you'll enjoy it more, because you'll go into......more

Goodreads review by Suad on May 11, 2014

I love Lemony Snicket. I love everything he writes, and his style of writing. Although this book is formatted differently, I found that it still had the essence of Lemony Snicket in there. 13 Suspicious Incidents is literally just that. A book about 13 incidents that Snicket resolves very quickly. I......more

Goodreads review by Renata on April 09, 2014

I LOVE Lemony Snicket. This isn't news. I love his clever wordplay and melancholy noir Jr aesthetic and his wild literary allusions. 13 Suspicious Incidents is great because it's 13 Encyclopedia Brown-style mini-mysteries, so it's mostly just pure, unconcentrated Snicket style without any big sweepi......more


Quotes

Praise for "Who Could That Be at This Hour?":"A Pink Panther-esque page turner...exceptionally literary and entirely singular. Characterized by linguistic playfulness and an appreciation for the archaic, "Who Could That Be at This Hour?" is frequently laugh-out-loud hilarious...illustrations by celebrated cartoonist Seth only add to the throwback gumshoe vibe of this outrageous, long-overdue, middle-grade follow-up series from a truly beloved narrator."—Los Angeles Times

* "Will thrill fans of the author's earlier works and have even reluctant readers turning pages with the fervor of seasoned bookworms. A must-have."—School Library Journal, starred review

"Demands to be read twice: once for the laughs and the second time for the clues."—The Boston Globe
