convoluted, slow, dignified prose...takes time to read and appreciate...many plot holes, lack of logic, but entertaining...like a slow pavanne...occasional use of old-fashioned, condescending language, and always a class consciousness which is quite unforgiving...some people are "people like us", and others, the great unsoaped and unfortunate, are not...and guess who runs things? oh well, pleasant reading for a small price...the occasional anger is good for the circulation...

I have read about 20 of the John Thorndyke novels to date and have enjoyed all of them. Some have plots that are truly ingenious, all are intelligently written and technically researched. Great period detective stories with a difference. They are like crosswords in novel form. Good value.

The only fault in the e Book in the character recognition program used in the electronic transfer doesn't always pick up the correct characters. So you have to guess what the word is. Thats not too hard as the same faults recur again and again.
