  If you have read any of the detective stories which we have recommended to you, such as The World's Finger, Macon Moore, Etc., you know that our statements in regard to their being "the real thing" were not overdrawn. We now have another one just as good, which we unhesitatingly recommend. It is entitled THE HOUSE BY THE RIVER BY FLORENCE WARDEN. WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY OF IT."Florence Warden is the Anna Katharine Greene of England. She apparently has the same marvelous capacity as Mrs. Rohlfs for concocting the most complicated plots and most mystifying mysteries, and serving them up hot to her readers."—N. Y. Globe. "The author has a knack of intricate plot-work which will keep an intelligent reader at her books, when he would become tired over far better novels not so strongly peppered. For even the 'wisest men' now and then relish not only a little nonsense, but as well do they enjoy a thrilling story of mystery. And this is one—a dark, deep, awesome, compelling if not convincing tale."—Sacramento Bee. "The interest of the story is deep and intense, and many guesses might be made of the outcome, as one reads along, without hitting on the right one."—Salt Lake Tribune. This book contains 310 pages, printed in large clear type, and is bound in handsome paper cover. It is for sale by booksellers and newsdealers everywhere, or it will be sent by mail, postpaid, upon receipt of price, 25 cents. Address all orders to |
