Firstly, Jasper Gray, 17, a messenger boy and his various adventures which might fill in the gaps of the second. That of Dr Jervis and his help to Dr. Thorndyke as he investigates the death of Sir Edward Hardcastle. An entertaining mystery Originally published in 1931 This entry in the Dr. Thorndyke series combined a great example of Thorndyke at work with the sort of adventure story that I love. Young Jasper Gray gets innocently caught up in the schemes of a group of ruffians and Freeman has had dual narratives before in the Thorndyke series but mostly in 2 completely separate sections. This book has the two points of view interwoven and it is done in such a skillful way - each plot line has its own interest (and I can see how some readers would prefer one over the other depending on personal taste) but the switch between them was handled smoothly. An ingenious mystery featuring scientific detective,Doctor Thorndyke. A young lad working as a messenger and delivery boy finds himself in the middle of an adventure involving abduction and attempted murder. At the same time Thorndyke and his friend Doctor Jervis are drawn into the investigation of the death of Sir Edward Hardcastle. The body of Hardcastle has been discovered hanging in an empty and abandoned house. The question to be answered is, suicide or murder ?. As is usual with the Dr Thorndyke stories, the reader is treated to much detailed scientific data,and depending on the readers tastes in this type of thing,will either (as I do) find it quite fascinating or dry as dust and off-putting. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

He needs the facts to confirm his case: Jasper could complete the blank spaces if only Thorndyke were aware of his existence ........ No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
