| A collection of seven short stories which showcase Dr Thorndykes's methods of solving seemingly insoluble mysteries: THE BLUE SEQUIN; THE NEW JERSEY SPHINX; THE MAGIC CASKET; THE PATHOLOGIST TO THE RESCUE; THE TOUCHSTONE; PERCIVAL BLAND'S PROXY; THE MISSING MORTGAGEE.
One can't help being amused by Freeman's prose. Sometimes the plots are a little far-fetchedd, as in 'The Pathologist to the Rescue', where a blood sample reveals that a person has filaria nocturna, or elephantiasis).However there is such good humour and fun, in equal measure, that all is forgiven by this reviewer. Furthermore, though the descriptions of London's streets throughout the stories may not be accurate (this reviewer has not been to London to check) they evoke London as one can imagine it would have been in the nineteen-twenties.
