"The plot is well constructed, the story is well told, and there is enough of mystery to satisfy the most exacting reader."—Saturday Evening Gazette "'The Betrayal of John Fordham' is a new story by B.L. Farjeon. It is of the detective order, full of murder and innumerable wrongs that become, at length, righted, and the much abused hero comes to happiness as the curtain falls. The working out of the plot, combined with peculiar incidents makes the story worth reading, especially if one likes a detective story. Almost everyone does, for a change."—Boston Times. "Running through the story are the threads of one or two affairs of the heart, which are woven into pleasant conclusions. Some of the scenes are stirringly dramatic."—San Francisco Chronicle. "A new book, which, like the preceding ones from the pen of the same author, is a strong story and which promises to be extensively read, is B.L. Farjeon's new novel, 'The Betrayal of John Fordham.'"—New Haven Journal. "The plot is intricate and deeply involved and dramatically and skillfully worked out."—Brooklyn Eagle.
