The Robthorne Mystery

John Rhode . The Robthorne Mystery, The Abatross Crime Club Vol. 122, 1934. First published by Collins Crime Club 1934.

Twins, the face of a presumed suicide victim destroyed by the blast of a shotgun are ominous signals of mistaken identity for the experienced reader of detective novels. Major C. J. C. Street aka John Rhode aka Miles Burton, a prolific writer of these yarns and a prominent member of the illustrious English Detection Club, certainly knew this and one wonders what he is going to do with these elements. I'm not going to divulge it. Read for yourself. But be prepared to pay high prices for copies of Major Street's rather rare books.
