Marston takes a new tack by presenting a volume of short stories rather than a full novel. While he keeps up his usual fine style for era and theme, it is hard to come up with all the twists and turns of plot when restricted to 25 pages or fewer. Still well worth while.
A good collection of short pieces. Enjoyed each of them. Would recommend to any one who enjoys a good mystery!
Short, snappy tales in the familiar Marston style. A fun read if you need a quick detective fix.
Such fun reads!
None of the scenarios are particularly believable, and, as the author is more used to writing full length novels, none of the stories are well developed.
