Roger and his cousin Anthony are ready to head out on vacation, when a phone call from Scotland Yard sends the duo scuttling down to Hampshire to investigate the possible murder of a Mrs. Vane, who had disappeared on her way to visit a friend. Local police and newspapers reported the death as accidental, but officers at Scotland Yard have their doubts. At this point, they call in amateur sleuth Roger Sheringham to investigate.

Good Readers - Fascinating Story


(5 stars)

The story seems very contemporary when compared to other early 20th Century detective novels. It also turns the genre on its head.
