It's a story about a puzzling situation that comes to an exciting conclusion and a satisfactory conclusion. Written in the early 1940's it's full of then-current colloquialisms and stereotypes, some of which offend our current political correctness. Some sensitive souls may want to skip this book on account of this. Despite that, it's pure entertainment, where you can tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Being set in London during the early days of WW2, there's plenty of atmosphere in the background provided by the mandated blackout.
There's an informative Introduction written by author and critic Martin Edwards. He puts the book in context with Golden Age authors of the day, Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers and provides some biographical background on the author, John Gordon Brandon.
