The D'Arblay Mystery (a Dr Thorndyke Mystery) by R. Austin Freeman

justasking27's review against another edition

3.0

A few holes in the story (like, why was no one more worried when their houses were broken into?!), but overall another excellent addition to the Dr Thorndyke series.

Unlike the last one, this one is back to the clueless protagonist needing Thorndyke to explain everything at the end. However, it was much more involving and much more complicated, so the ending explanation probably would have been needed either way! I rather enjoyed this one, it was like reading "The Red Thumb Mark" again. It was a totally new concept to me and got me to remember why I appreciated reading Freeman's mysteries in the first place.

While walking in Churchyard Bottom Wood, Dr Stephen Gray discovers a body. This turns out to be a Julius D'Arblay, a man which is discovered as been murdered. Gray asks that Thorndyke investigates.
An enjpyable mystery
