Reseñas


(5 stars)

A serial killer is certainly rare in the mysteries of this time (1920s)! This was an intriguing story of a series of murders of seemingly unrelated men. The characters are well drawn and engaging. The entrance of Dr. Priestly starts off the amazing solution to the case. Very enjoyable and well read.


(4 stars)

The story drifts a bit more than I expected. The plot is good albeit simple. I enjoyed the narration although I had difficulty with some of the Indian cadence and pronunciation.

Excellent Story and Reader


(5 stars)

This story is a cut above the typical Victorian/Edwardian mystery story. Although I did guess the big secret a bit before the end.
