THIS book introduced to
the public a new Master of Detective Fiction, and Mr. Crofts is now a
very famous name indeed to the many enthusiastic students of
detective novels. It has all the great virtues; a mysterious murder
cunningly conceived and carried out; the strongest suspicion
ingeniously thrown on an innocent man; a subtle alibi brilliantly
shattered by an unfaltering process of analysis. The book is flawless
in design and presents an intellectual problem of supreme interest.
The lover of detective stories can want nothing better. As the
Outlook said, “In construction and invention Mr. Crofts has
no living equal.”
