"In adopting the formula for the tales that the criminal shall never pay the penalty for his crime, Mr. Chesterton has given himself a somewhat heavy handicap. It is not the easiest of tasks to invent a murder mystery which shall be ingenious, plausible, perplexing and also posses some credible reason why the wrongdoer shall be permitted to escape....But Mr. Chesterton is always clever; he has the gift of being almost invariably entertaining, and very uneven in merit as these stories are, nevertheless they all have in them something that is worth while, and the best are very good indeed."Russell, Dick is the author of 'Man Who Knew Too Much' with ISBN 9780786712427 and ISBN 0786712422.
