A random question I thought of: For those of you who like mystery series, (Whether they be book, show, movie, or even game), which individual cases do you think were the most challenging to solve?

Some, in my opinion, are:

The following episodes of Monk-

1. Mr. Monk and the Marathon Man-Monk must figure out how a man threw a woman off a balcony while at the same time, miles away, he was participating in a big running marathon.

2. Mr. Monk and the Sleeping Suspect-Monk must figure out how a man delivered a bomb that killed the man's sister when the man has been in a coma for 4 months.

3. Mr. Monk and the Astronaut-Monk must figure out how an astronaut hung his girlfriend in her house-while the man was in space at the time of death.

Episodes/chapters of Case Closed-

4. The Spider Mansion case from Volume 25-Conan and Harley must figure out how a killer hung a man without ever entering the room where the body was found.

5. The Triplet Villa murder case from Volume 13-Conan must figure out which of 3 triplet brothers is responsible for the murder of their father.

6. The Highway murder from Volumes 62-63- Conan and Harley must figure out how someone got strangled to death while inside their locked car in the middle of the highway-when the victim was the only one in the vehicle.

7. A case from volume 45-Where Conan must figure out how a baseball star stabbed someone to death even though he was on another part of Japan, about an entire plane trip-distance away, when the murder occurred.
