Dr. Thorndyke Intervenes (a Dr Thorndyke Mystery)

By R. Austin Freeman

Book Overview

This early work by Richard Austin Freeman was originally published in 1933 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction. Dr. Thorndyke Intervenes is one of Freemans novels of crime and mystery. The first story featuring his well-known protagonist Dr. Thorndyke - a medico-legal forensic investigator - was published in 1907, and although Freemans early works were seen as simple homages to his contemporary, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, he quickly developed his own style: The inverted detective story, in which the identity of the criminal is shown from the beginning, and the story then describes the detectives attempt to solve the mystery.
