Mr. Mystery is a mystery-fiction series written by Jim Aitchison under the pseudonym of James Lee (also the author of the Mr. Midnight series). Unlike Mr. Midnight, it has a fixed group of main characters. The series is published by Angsana Books. 23 "episodes" of the series have been published excluding Special Edition One released near Christmas in 2010 and the second Special Edition released near Halloween of 2012. There are now currently 3 SE (Special Editions). New "episodes" are usually planned for release every two to four months, together with Mr. Midnight books though rather infrequently. Since the release of book 12, the letterpage with a message from the author as well as announcement of prizewinners and preview of the next book has been removed, with the reason unknown.

Plot
The story is about 6 friends who run a detective company, named Soh & Co, in an old storeroom behind Alvin Soh's mother's jewelry shop. A large sign hangs outside proudly proclaiming:
SOH & CO INVESTIGATORS We investigate anything No case too big or too small
They are frequently roped into solving crimes that baffle the police by their suspicious clients, frowned upon by their friend in the police, Seargeant Soo, as well as Alvin's mother, Gracie Soh.
Main characters
Alvin Soh: He is the main character in Mr. Mystery. He lives with his mother, Gracie Soh. His gel-slicked hair is always cut very short at the sides, which seems to make his ears stick out. In The Mystery of the Sydney Slayings, he learns that his father was murdered by The Snake.
Tan Wei Ling: She has a collection of criminal files in their headquarters. She is Alvin's "girlfriend". She became jealous when Alvin became close to Tai, The Snake's daughter. She has a prominent beauty spot. She always wears white tee and jeans. In The Mystery of the Unlucky Undertaker, Wei Ling has a new boyfriend, Tony Hall.
Rafe: His real name is Rafferty Lim. He is Alvin's best friend and his senior investigator. He is so handsome that he looks like a member of a boy band. He is also Mars Wong's boyfriend. In The Mystery of the Rajah's Ruby, it is revealed that he can fly a plane.
Mars Wong: She is a beautiful girl and is Rafe's girlfriend. She is close to Tan Wei Ling and Sabrina Sim (a girl who is not an investigator). She is the one who found out Tai is actually The Snake's daughter. Before she started dating with Rafe, she had a boyfriend, Edmund Lim (The Mystery of the Eagle's Eye).
Azizul: He always wears a hat. Azizul enjoys teasing Wei Ling just to see her beauty spot bob up and down. He has a girlfriend, Farisha, but she is not an investigator.
Sinchita: Sinchita can draw very well. She has a cat, Kuching. Sinchita believes relationships do not last long, just like what happened to her father and mother. In The Mystery of the Seventh Sword, she is unintentionally poisoned by The Snake, after she cut her finger with the poisoned envelope meant for Alvin, slipping into a coma. In the next book, The Mystery of the Missing Murderer, she died, leaving five investigators in the team.
