An entertaining historical mystery
Originally published in 1932 - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book requires the reader to be familiar with the first book of the series, "The Red Thumb Mark". While the book in and of itself probably deserves a 3.5*, the connections to the previous case were enough to make me round up instead of down. Poltron, Dr. Thorndyke's assistant, has some snazzy devices in this one but, as always, Thorndyke's methodical method of examining evidence and checking his private hypotheses are what I like most about this series.I do like Freeman's philosophy, voiced by Thorndyke at the conclusion of this book:"Believe me, Jervis, the great purveyor of human happiness is not philanthropy, which seeks to soften the lot of the unworthy, but justice, which secures to the worthy the power to achieve their own happiness, by protecting them from the wrong-doer and the social parasite."
