The style is overwrought with adjectives viz:`"The solicitor's companion was a spare, angular man, dressed in dark clothes of old-fashioned cut". But they are great stories. I found myself reading them at great pace and more or less unable to put them down. the formula is the same as in Sherlock Holmes:.....some mysterious happenings, impossible to see the connections until Sexton Blake comes on the scene and starts to apply his analytical genius. All is revealed in the last few paragraphs....how the villains did it and how they are brought to justice. Frequent violence and the use of revolvers.
