Published in the mid 1930's this was Bude's first book .The best thing I can say about it is the Bude ranks in the 3rd division of crime writers , positioned mid table.
Very ordinary, somehow he had another 29 books published.
I've noticed with this British Library Crime Classic's line that the quality of the stories is poor, whether this is as they are out of copywrite I don't know but they continue to disappoint. Even in the Introduction its noted that Bude wasn't flash on plotting or character's and that this books main claim to fame is that its initial print run was very small and its a rarity for hardcore collectors
