Review

‘The more I read his work, the better I like it.’ Sunday Times

‘This author shares with A.E.W. Mason a quality which few detective story-writers possess, the ability to construct situations of almost unbearable suspense. Common sense may tell us that right must triumph, but until we reach the last page our harrowed sensibilities will not allow us to lay aside the book.’ The Times

‘However tastes may differ, most people would admit that Philip MacDonald is one of the half-dozen best writers of detective fiction.’ Glasgow Herald

‘Mr MacDonald, almost alone among detective story-writers, mixes literature with murder.’ Time and Tide
