Great Victorian Era Mystery!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Great Portrait Mystery (Kindle Edition)
An excellent collection which will please mystery fans who enjoy works such as the Sherlock Holmes mysteries and/or the novels and stories of Agatha Christie. These stories are written in the Victorian/Edwardian style and very intriguing.
The collection includes: The Great Portrait Mystery The Bronze Parrot Powder Blue and Hawthorn The Attorney's Conscience The Luck of Barnabas Mudge If you don't like stories which depend upon you setting aside conceptions of what is real (such as believing in unseen spiritual powers, the supernatural, magical events or fate) then you may not enjoy The Bronze Parrot or The Attorney's Conscience. The other stories, however, follow a plot which most would categorize as "it could have happened," rather than relying on the mystical to inspire the story. I found all the stories very enjoyable, you just have to have the imagination required for those two special stories. The Great Portrait Mystery is as the title indicates a story centered on a piece of art. Essentially this is a mystery story about theft, but very cleverly done. The Bronze Parrot combines the mystical and the psychological in examining what happens to a shy, country parson when he finds a Bronze Parrot. Powder Blue and Hawthorn is a con-artist type mystery involving coffins and treasure. The Attorney's Conscience is a story of a family conundrum solved years later by some very odd coincidences and ultimately a tale of justice. The Luck of Barnabas Mudge is an intriguing story of treasure, cleverness, and good fortune. An enjoyable collection available for the Kindle in the public domain on manybooks.net
