Is it French's greatest case?
By John Austin
Detective fiction writers Agatha Christie and Freeman Wills Crofts both had popular successes in the mid-1920s. Crofts introduced his sleuth, Inspector Joseph French of Scotland Yard in this 1925 book. Already in his 50s (he refers to his eldest child having been killed in World War 1), French proved to be so popular that Crofts included him in all his detective fiction for a further thirty years.The book's title probably continues to attract first time readers to Crofts' work. Readers who like to sample books from the "Golden Age of British Detective Fiction (1920-1940) will find strengths and weaknesses. The book displays Crofts' "puzzle solving" formula admirably. A problem occurs, a theory is formulted, testing follows, each discovery likely to form a "spring board" to further discovery. If a dead-end is encountered, another theory is formulated, etc. Crofts also keeps us in company with Inspector French throughout the whole book.If these are some of the strengths, then a few weaknesses must be acknowledged. Expect old-fashioned crimes and old-fashioned criminals. The crime and murder here, popular in detective fiction of the time, involved the theft of diamonds. One of the criminal's skills, also popular at the time, was the devising and use of a code. Both of these elements will appear dated and quaint to C21st readers.So is it Inspector French's greatest case? Reading the thirty or so other books in which he features will give you the answer, together with many hours of enjoyment.

a forgotton name from the golden age of detectives
By thefastreader@netscapeonline.co.uk
I was agreeably surprised by this book. It marks a new treaure trove from the great age of the most 'British' detectives. Tight plotting, with many twists and turns and all the elements that make Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers so much fun. Inspector French is a true English Detective who gets by with careful dedution and few flights of fancy or amazing leaps of imagination. A great book from a forgotton writer who deserves a good deal of recognition!!

Only greatest so far: even better follow...
By Purslove
This is my fourth FWC book having started inauspiciously with 12.30 from Croydon where you pretty much know whodunnit from the start and it is really just a clever exploration of how they dunnit. On our own bookshelves I found The Sea Mystery which had Inspector French meticulously following up leads and sharing his analyses with the reader. That prompted me to look for more FWC and I came across The Hogs Back Mystery which was great fun, intricate, evocative of an earlier age and place and can be read knowing that the clues are in the text (and will be referenced at the end) - don't just guess at whodunnit but try to work howtheydunnit. That sent me off to read FWC's Inspector French books in sequence. Greatest Case is the first and makes a good introduction. The plot is a little less intricate than the Hogs Back Mystery, but still plenty of meat for Inspectior French to have to chew over. Yes it involves a diamond theft, but murder makes the plot relevant. These books are much more closely plotted and clue-laden than Agatha Christie or Dorothy Sayers, but lighter on charcterisation than Sayers: French's character is less eccentric than Wimsey, Campion, Poirot or Marple. FWC sets out to write crime puzzler plots that move along in a manner unmatched by other Golden Age authors. I am off to read the Starvel Tragedy next...
