Summary

Someone is making very determined attempts to murder inoffensive newly-qualified Doctor Humphrey Jardine. Could this be related to the body which he discovered in Hampstead - and which when he returned with the police had entirely disappeared? Or perhaps the odd circumstances surrounding the death of Septimus Maddock may be the key?

Long winded

I enjoy the Thorndyke stories but this is long winded and overly elaborated. Quite a bit could have been left out and made shorter. The Doctor on whom all the extraordinary escapades happen too does seem a little short on common sense.

Very early mystery great bedtime read.

The description of London by R Austin Freeman bring his story alive . I was lucky to have seen and walked in the same places many now gone . Again Graham Scott is the perfect reader .

Great Story

A story you can loose yourself in. R Austin Freeman writes imaginative and believable stories of the time, this is one I read as a book many years ago, I see audible are adding more of his titles, can't wait to hear Mr Pottermack's Oversight on audible, as well as " A certain Dr Thorndyke"
