The Middle Temple Murder

By J.S. Fletcher and Joseph Smith Fletcher

Book Overview

This story was first published more than a century ago and it tells of intrigue, murder, and crime in high places.

It was a lonely English courtyard where attorneys received traditional apprenticeship ... one of the ancient Inns of Court. The bludgeoned body of a well-dressed elderly man was found there at midnight, an apparent murder victim. Investigative newspaper reporter Frank Spargo was one of the first to arrive at the crime scene and he was puzzled about why such a prosperous looking man had been wandering there at that time of night. The only item found on the body was a small paper with a young barrister's address. The sinister atmosphere will keep you guessing what it's all about, as you can now hear.

Customer Reviews

Very enjoyable romp

An immensely enjoyable detective romp, first published in 1919. The writing is sometimes a bit stiff and pompous, but the plot is satisfyingly dense, the mystery is intriguing, and the atmosphere and characterization (which are the point of the whole thing) are top-notch. My favourite was the old stamp dealer who exclaims, "You think and argue on modern lines -- which are, of course, highly superior."
