A review by cyranoreads
The Thinking Machine, Adventures of a Mastermind by Jacques Futrelle

3.0

The main story, "The Problem of Cell 13," made an impression upon reading it in my youth - it's always remained in my memory. It set a sort of standard for me of human ingenuity. (The other, shorter stories aren't quite as good, so I'm rating the whole book 3 stars.)

Much later I learned the sad fact the the author died on the Titanic.
