Nice novel about espionage in WW 1, with some surprises near the end.

Impressive account of a holocaust survivor. She is not an experience writer, so the book is not high literature, but in a case like this it only makes the true story more impressive. Highly recommended.

Knowing Anna Katherine Green from several great detective novels, this book was a disappointment to me.

There hardly is mystery in it and several of the story lines are rather old-fashioned to our modern minds.

So: not recommended to mystery lovers, but probably a must to Anna Katherine Green fans.

A refreshing return to the jungle,in the Tarzan Series. It is, however, Tarzan's son who enters the jungle, and appears to be a true son of his father.

This is the best book ever written, in my humble opinion. The atmosphere of the old English families is brilliantly pictured. If you found both tv series based on these books more like a soap, then yu should read the books.

In these first parts of the Forsyte books the story is still very good. It becomes a bit less in the later books.

Is there anything more to be said? No. This is a must-read for everybody with a sense of literature.

This is a good read. Although it looks as if almost everything is clear halfway the book, there still are some surprises near the end.

Although this is a pleasant read, the high expectations promised in the preface did not work out for me.

This really is a great detective novel. It is the first of a long list by Fergus Hume.
It has all the ingredients of a good detective novel: Unexpected turns in the plot, putting you (and the detective, by the way) on the wrong leg and an unexpected ending, although "experienced" readers of the genre might not find it too unexpected. But remember that it is more than 100 years old and still a good read.

This is the sequel to "Monsieur Lecoq", that reveals the "why" and "who" of what happened in Monsieur Lecoq. Although this is more a historical adventure than a detective novel, I found it a good read. I found it a bit longer than necessary.

In the last few pages the secrets of the plot in "Monsieur Lecoq" are revealed. The rest is history, but necessary to understand things.

This is one of the earliest detective stories. It is well written and a good read, although the end looks more or less like a "deus ex machina" to me.

The bad news is, that you have to read the sequel "The Honor of the Name" to understand who did it and why!

Gaboriau can be regarded as the father of the modern detective novel, so you should read this anyway, if only for that reason, if you are interested in the genre.
