Cain's Jawbone by Torquemada, E. Powys Mathers
2.0
“I told myself that all art was one. There might be superficial differences in their work, but they had, in the words of the old song, gone the same way home. When was it? Why, to-day, if I mistook not.”
This book sounds a lot better and more interesting with the simple marketing gimmick of it being out of order and the mystery of the book is to find out what that order of the 100 pages might be. Out of order, in order, this felt like every other murder mystery book written in the 1920s, and without the lasting legacy of the gimmick, I know this book wouldn’t have more than 10 reviews on Goodreads.
