This week's puzzle is "The Case of the Stolen Jewels"  It's a 250 piece puzzle and story by Patricia Lakin.  The solution to the puzzle is NOT on the box. 

The story contains some bonus puzzles/codes, but then the solutions are quickly spelled out for you.

The solution was a lot of a stretch and didn't tie in well as other mystery stories that we've done.

This week's puzzle is "Final Run"  It's a 500 piece puzzle and story by Alan Robbins, 1992.  The solution to the puzzle is NOT on the box.  Copy of the story here. 

I had a new and unopened copy that I scored from Goodwill. In an attempt to clear out my house this puzzle had to go as is. 

Sadly, I didn't actually do the puzzle.  The number of white pieces would have driven me crazy!

I found the solution to the puzzle on Reddit.com:
