But this one was a little bit beyond my level. I felt like I was blundering through a white fog, knowing that there was symbolic images but not understanding the meaning behind it. The plot itself was obviously a stage for the metaphysical symbolisms.
There are much better men than I to give reviews and critiques of the book, so I will merely say that, if, like me, you have a hard time understanding hidden meanings and symbolism, then this book is not for you.
I am not sure what rating to give this book, so I will leave it at the default three.
The Loss of Sammy Crockett: Much better. Martin Hewitt solves this one based on piecing together a torn note and clandestinely obtaining a sample of the suspect's handwriting.
The Case of Mr. Foggatt: This one was very good. Hewitt daringly takes damning evidence away right under the suspect's nose.
The Case of the Dixon Torpedo: The best on the list. Secret plans are stolen and the hiding place is very clever on the part of the criminals.
The Quinton Jewel Affair Also a good one. Probably the third best on the list.
The Stanway Cameo Mystery A quick story, but with a very surprising twist towards the end.
The Affair of the Tortoise I did not like this one, due to its insulting theme. In addition to that, the plot itself was very weak.
