This is my second book of Freeman and Thorndyke. Frankly, I liked 'The Red Thumb Mark' better though I guessed who the main culprit was.
The book has 5 cases in total, out of which have the crime and criminal detailed first and then shown how those are cracked.
They put a disclaimer hinting that anybody who does not prefer to read this experimental style is warned, but I read it anyway.
Overall, a decent book which can be read once.
