There are a large number of books that play with the short mysteries genre sometimes called mini-mysteries, where the reader is asked to solve a mystery. Consequently, without any more detailed information about the specific book you are looking for it is fairly difficult to offer an exact answer. Here are a few possible candidates: "Two-minute Mysteries" by Donald Sobal; "You're the Detective!: Twenty-Four Solve-Them-Yourself Picture Mysteries" by Lawrence Treat; "You Be The Jury" by Marvin Miller; "Almost Perfect Crimes: Mini-Mysteries For You To Solve" by Hy Conrad.

In Wikipedia there is an article on time travelling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_travel. In the end of article there are many links to relevant websites.
Here are few books about time machines and time travelling:
Davies, Paul: How to build a time machine. London : Penguin, 2002.
Le Poidevin, Robin: Travels in four dimensions : the enigmas of space and time. Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2003

The wireless internet connection service named Stadinetti can be used in every city library in Helsinki. For using Stadinetti, you need a HelMet library card and PIN code. If you don’t have them, you can get them from your local library by showing your identification card (for example your passport or Finnish driving licence).
It’s really hard to say which library would be the best one for you, but all the libraries have certainly space for you and your laptop and a power plug. The nearest one would be Kallio Library (http://www.lib.hel.fi/en-GB/kallio/), street address Viides linja 11 (see http://kartta.hel.fi/opas/indexen.html). Kallio Library is a big library, so there should be a lot of space.
My favourite library is Pasila Library (...
It seems that not. We could not find any references about that. We checked some databases: Fono, Suomen äänitearkisto, Viola. Although Harry Bergström (1910-1989) has several pseudonyms: Gerald Beach, Harold G Burgess, Leonard Fleuvemont, Sointu Karikas, Lenny, Jorge Monterio, Tintti-Kalle
And unfortunately we couldn't find any information about that whose pseudonym is Herbert Cornell.
Hope you will find what you are looking for!
