"Agreeable and meticulously worked out tale... with more humor than found in most Scotland Yard exploits" states Saturday Review of Literature.
"Readers should note that here a new star has risen... wit, fair play, and characterization; the way in which an ait of probility is combined both with clear, terse narritive and with a good deal of subtle suurban atmosphere, proves the extreme skill of the writerrer,' according to the editor for Dover Publications.

The first in the Inspector Mallett series. Very intelligent and witty. A nice quick read. Set in England, it's about Inspector Mallet who is charged with finding the murderer of a man who, it seems, cheated several people out of money. I am definitely going to read the next in the series called Death Is No Sportsman.
