THE CRIME CLUB VOLUME 25 * THE CASK
This is the Story THIS book introduced to the public a new Master of Detective Fiction, and Mr. Crofts is now a very famous name indeed to the many enthusiastic students of detective novels. It has all the great virtues; a mysterious murder cunningly conceived and carried out; the strongest suspicion ingeniously thrown on an innocent man; a subtle alibi brilliantly shattered by an unfaltering process of analysis. The book is flawless in design and presents an intellectual problem of supreme interest. The lover of detective stories can want nothing better. As the Outlook said, “In construction and invention Mr. Crofts has no living equal.” By the Same Author | THE BOX OFFICE MURDERS | MYSTERY IN THE CHANNEL | | SUDDEN DEATH | DEATH ON THE WAY | | THE SEA MYSTERY | INSPECTOR FRENCH’S GREATEST CASE | | THE STARVEL TRAGEDY | THE GROOTE PARK MURDER | | THE PONSON CASE | THE PIT-PROP SYNDICATE | | THE CRIME AT GUILDFORD | THE LOSS OF THE JANE VOSPER | INSPECTOR FRENCH AND THE CHEYNE MYSTERY MAN OVERBOARD
