Plot twists galore,
By Mary "Commuter" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dead Men's Money (Paperback)
I fun read. Set in a small English village in the early 1900's. You'll figure out "who done it" early on, but that doesn't stop the fun. This book is like reading a Saturday serial, there are a variety of plot twists to maintain your interest throughout the book.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Dead Men's Money (Kindle Edition)
I snap these books up when I can. In some ways the writing is very much of its time - but that in itself is interesting to me. This story like the others of this author is pretty fast-paced, good characters and well written. Kind of 'boy's own' adventure meets with a less verbose Conan Doyle.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful Mystery!,
By J.M.S. (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead Men's Money (Paperback)
I love historic mysteries, especially those set in late 1800 early 1900 British Isles. Although this is the first mystery that I have read by J.S. Fletcher, I plan to read all I can find because he is a very good writer, an excellent story teller, and is very accurate in his place and historic descriptions. He was made a member of the Royal Historic Society during his lifetime, and his writing shows his keen attention to historic detail. In this story, he brings the reader along on the tale with a character who is the unlikely hero, giving the reader a sympathy with a likeable character from the very beginning, and therefore in tune with the emotions of the main character as we discover clues, live through horror and adventure along with him. Very fun tale and quite an adventure!
