“I previously have found Starrett's mystery stories to be a middling, but this book was excellent. A series of murders occur, whose only apparent connection is a note left by the bodies reading 'Dead Man Inside.' The police only play a peripheral role here, and its our amateur sleuth who really shines. With a solid group of side characters/suspects, it was an enjoyable read. I generally don't make any serious attempt to solve the crime, but I think it might be possible with this one. Would definitely recommend.”

“It is not a modern thriller with all the twists and turns. This is a classic mystery, yes it is a slow read but it pays off in the end. What I love about Vincent Starrett's writing is that the dialogue is wonderful. It held me throughout this book.
The answer to the mystery surprised and delighted me. I also really enjoyed the other character's reactions to the truth.
A great classic mystery written by a talented writer.”
