Reviews for Hunted Down

[angelajmaher · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I'm not sure why this is subtitled with "detective stories" as Hunted Down is a single story. Or at least in this edition it is. It didn't grab me as much as some of his other work I've read, but it's a decent story, especially if you enjoy the style of that time.

Mr Sampson, the Chief Manager of a Life Assurance Office tells the story of Julius Slinkton and the life assurance on his friend Beckwith.
My copy of this book only contained this one mystery which was an enjoyable read
