Excellent value for the price
Very dry, writen in old fashioned style but the price offsets this and gives hours of reading for few pennies!

The Solution Of A Murder
Dating from 1932,this late work is among the best I have read by the prolific JS Fletcher.
The structure is of interest, consisting of four retrospective accounts of the murder of a rent collector and the events surrounding and consequent to it. The statements come from the investigating detective, the defence solicitor, the foreman of the jury and from the accused man. Although there is necessarily some repetition, the narrative is fairly pacey compared to Fletcher's usual leisured style.
The suspense is quite well maintained and the solution when it comes springs a reasonably credible surprise.
It is good to find that this late in his career-he died in 1935- the author was capable of producing a novel which is much better than his standard potboilers.
3.5 stars.

Superb
This kept me coming back for more. Every single story in this bumper-filled book had me guessing what would happen next. It kept me entertained none end. Thoroughly worth the price. Old-fashioned it may be but it definitely appealed to me with no bad language nor profanity. Enjoyable from first to last.

Very good at being written in short precise stories.
You don't get bored and try to guess who don it.
