About this book
Across four volumes, Joseph Lewis French gathers detective cases, ghost tales, mystic comedy, and riddle stories for readers drawn to mystery in different forms. One detective scene begins in a shabby back room. Before acting, Kennedy studies its window, ceiling light, and furnishings, treating ordinary surroundings as clues. Watching Holmes’s scheme unfold, Watson feels ashamed of helping deceive the woman who has welcomed the apparently injured detective, bringing moral unease into the game of detection.
