Report
“I had never even heard of Arthur Morrison until I came across this story in a collection of English detective short stories. Yet I was thoroughly impressed. The writing style is quite similar to Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie, focusing more on the complexity of the mystery and clues than the characters. I was really impressed by the complexity of this case, a bank robbery with a twist. Also, Hewitt (the main detective of the story) reminded me astonishingly of both Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot (though perhaps without their idiosyncrasies). A fun read I would highly recommend.”
