I rather liked this addition to Dr Thorndyke's casebook.

Significant improvement over "Helen Vardon's Confession." The protagonist, Robert "Robin" Antsey is rather a clone of Jervis; he too is a lawyer who works in Kings Court though he doesn't have much medical knowledge. Therefore, the story was much closer to the first few novels, which I enjoyed because of their originality in terms of plot as well as the devices and knowledge Thorndyke draws on to create his hypotheses. This one is also enjoyable because it has more present action, taking after one of the previous volumes, "A Silent Witness", which I found to be my favorite of all the volumes thus far.
