Angell, Bryan Mary (H. Ripley Cromarsh, pseud.). Secret of the Moor cottage. †$1.25. Small.
6–40587.
A story written by the sister of A. Conan Doyle. The plot holds a mystery which involves a beautiful young woman who had wedded and later killed a villainous Russian count. An unprofessional sleuth is on the track of the tangle, and works out the puzzle only to satisfy a very justifiable curiosity.
“It is certainly not as good as ‘The house on the marsh,’ but it compares very favourably with many modern ‘successes.’”
