Over de Auteur
Ontwarringsbericht:
(eng) "Judging from Google, W. Stanley Sykes seems better remembered as the author of Essays on the First Hundred Years of Anaesthesia, which was comprised of three volumes, two published posthumously. But despite being an eminent anaesthetist, he was also the author of three detective novels[1] written during the 1930s, and in his obituary[2] it was noted that the first 'achieved such a popularity that it was eventually published in the Penguin series'.[3] " -- Karyn Reeves on A Penguin a week

The missing moneylender door W. Stanley Sykes
More of a How-it-was-done than a Whodunnit. Procedures and methods of acquiring evidence were described in great detail, and this was a little tedious on occasion. Interesting premise though.... one I haven't seen used before. I wonder if the reason is that it's not actually possible, or that it would give people ideas?
