“A country squire and his most villainous cousin, a vicar and his nephew, an innkeeper’s two handsome daughters, a scoundrelly lawyer or two, and a most excellently drawn detective furnish the personnel of the narrative, the special recommendation of which is that it is not put in the first person, and has not a visible trace of the tiresomely wise deductions and logical puzzle-reading that are the ordinary accompaniments of the detective story.”—N. Y. Times.
“Another of those ‘first books’ that turn up at pleasant intervals on the reviewer’s table and fairly amaze him with their all-around excellence of plot construction, and style, and their utter lack of any sign that would indicate a novice as their author.”
