I would recommend Asimov's Mysteries published in 1968. As one might expect, they are science-fiction, but Asimov prided himself in making them mysteries too--and ones that were capable of being worked out from the facts given in the stories. In one case, he admitted that certain discoveries made after the story had been published made the solution unworkable. But he felt that the reader would now have a mystery to figure out which one it was and why the "solution" wouldn't work. The stories are written in Asimov's lucid style and are very enjoyable.
I would be very surprised if this book {which I have in hard copy} is not available electronically.
