Dude I loved the concept of Encyclopedia Brown but so many of the resolutions revolve around the most obscure of knowledge. Like yeah you get to figure out who don it but holy crap relying on knowing the exact dimensions of a US dollar bill to identify the coin collector as the culprit is quite a stretch for 8-12 year olds

Wasn't knowing obscure knowledge the concept of Encyclopedia Brown?

I meant it's the whole you have to try to figure out who was lying before reading the last part. I'm realizing as I type this it could've entirely not been an intentional part of the reading experience of those books and just something my mom inserted when she was reading them to me

Sounds like a damned good mom. Kudos to her for working so hard.
