One of Crofts's most highly praised works, which lives up to its reputation with ease. A miser and his servants are burnt to death in Yorkshire; despite the verdict of accident, murder is suggested by the fact that the bank notes, which should have perished in the fire, are still in circulation. French, disguised as an insurance investigator, travels north, and from there to France and Scotland. Despite a great deal of travelling, his plodding detection is genuinely interesting, and, although he only solves the crime a minute before he arrests the murderer, he comes across as more of a thinker than in later tales. The red herrings to which he applies his mind are as fresh as the writing and characterisation; and, although the reader will not be unduly surprised by the final revelation, he will marvel at the intricacy of a highly ingenious plot, with a nice bit of body-snatching for extra merit.

This writer was introduced to me when I expressed an interest in writing crime novels. Freeman Wills Crofts wrote his novels in a previous century so his writing style is antiquated yet charming. No copy-editor would allow me to write such supposedly `awkward' turns of phrase but it is this very writing style and the carefully plotted events with the gradual revelation of the dastardly criminal at work that make this book attractive and certainly well worth reading.You can easily empathize with the main character, Inspector French, the puzzles he has to unravel and his unease about his own career development in the police force. While reading you also feel that you know and understand the author and his intentions. Inspector often catches specific trains, so it is no surprise that the author was previously an engineer and the ease with which Inspector French moves about the country a refreshing contrast to our train cancellations, strikes and leaves on the line.This charming tale stems from an old house at Starvel Hollow that is burnt to the ground along with its introverted miserly owner and staff. The story of the missing fortune stashed by the owner and of his much restricted ward and her thwarted love unfolds graciously until we are finally brought to a surprising conclusion. This book epitomizes my preferences exactly - there's nothing like a bit of a murder, as long as it is encapsulated in a world of fiction and in this book especially, enchanting fiction at that.Rosemary Westwell

First published in 1927, this is an intricate and well written mystery. Inspector Joseph French of Scotland Yard is sent, incognito, to look into the destruction by fire of a remote house in Yorkshire which resulted in the death of the owner and two servants. The case had been closed as a tragic accident until a twenty pound note which was thought to have been destroyed in the fire turns up at a bank.It is a refreshing change to read about a detective who does not have huge personal problems which he is battling at the same time as trying to unravel a complex case. French is an interesting and likeable character. He plods along studying the smallest details to try and work out what has happened. He asks apparently innocuous questions of the most unlikely people and gradually manages to work out the solution to the mystery.This complex mystery will keep most readers guessing until almost the large page though the clues are there if you look back when you have finished. The book is an excellent example of the Golden Age of British crime fiction and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Dorothy L Sayers and Agatha Christie.
