The humorous case files of a not-so-super sleuth
Anyone can be a detective—as long as he has postage and a little bit of gumption. That’s all it takes to make it at the Rising Sun Detective Agency Correspondence School, and it’s a good thing because Philo Gubb never met a mystery he could solve on purpose.
Whether puzzling over the nature of a hard-boiled egg or trying to grasp the true value of a two-cent stamp, Philo Gubb never fails to underwhelm. His disguises may be dismal and his speech may be uncouth, but there is no denying his persistence and his good-natured disposition. Somehow or another, he always cracks the case—just don’t ask him to explain how he did it.
Combining laugh-out-laud satire and scintillating suspense, Philo Gubb, Correspondence School Detective is an early masterpiece of the mystery genre.
