When the body of a young man is found in the wardrobe of a London hotel it is at first assumed to be a case of suicide by drug overdose. But Chief Inspector Pointer has his doubts. Why, for instance, would the dead man choose to expire in the rather inconvenient confines of a piece of furniture? And who was the dead man, anyway? Soon these and other questions lead Pointer onto the trail of a completely different crime. Written by an author whose identity is as great a mystery as his/her novels. The Eames-Erskine Case is the first of nearly two dozen mysteries from the 1920's and 1930's to feature Chief Inspector Pointer. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The book was written in 1924 or ‘25, and is quite dated. But that’s a large part of its charm. The reader gets a terrific picture of life in that decade. Most of the characters are a bit cardboard, but two or threestand out as nicely developed. The twin mysteries, which are somewhat connected, provide plenty of turns for the reader to delight in.
Is this a great classic of the genre? No, but it’s a great and undemanding little read for any fan of Golden Era mysteries. (
