Has anyone else read any of Raymond Smullyan's books of chess puzzles?

I've recently re-read these:

"The Chess Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes - 50 Tantalizing Problems of Chess Detection"
and
The Chess Mysteries of the Arabian Knights - 50 New Problems of Chess Detection"

From the back cover ... 
"Unlike conventional problems (White to play and mate in so many moves), these chess mysteries are concerned with deducing certain events in a game's past.  For example: On what square was the white queen captured?, or. is the white quen promoted, or original?"

If you like retrograde chess analysis, then you may appreciate these books.
