I really liked this one! J.G. Reeder shows his sensitive side. He's not very good at it, but it was quite sweet nonetheless. The mystery was solid and the ending was unexpected and much more dramatic than a lot of these old school mysteries. ( )

This book certainly is a gripping read and a fun one at that, but it isn’t a book that makes a good point about life or anything. It’s not meant to be. It’s just a fun story meant to entertain a reader, sitting in bed on a stormy night, or watching the waves on a sunny beach.

There are, without a doubt, problematic parts in this book, that suggest ideas about our world that might not be worth repeating because they’re demonstrably untrue. And these parts make me question if this book is worth reading in 2020. I’m not saying you’re not allowed to enjoy it. Far from it, I enjoyed it myself, but I don’t want to recommend this book. It’s a well-crafted thriller from almost 100 years ago. It’s showing it’s age. That doesn’t make it a bad book per se, but there are also better books to search out. It’s probably a guilty pleasure for me.
