Still, The Leavenworth Case is a meritorious effort." - The Spectator "Compression, too, might have been applied, with much benefit.(.) Green (1846-1935), whose smooth prose remains fresh, makes Gryce an interesting enough character to leave fans of traditional whodunits eager to see more of the detective in reissues of his further exploits." - Publishers Weekly "(T)his atmospheric and suspenseful mystery well deserves a modern audience. ![]()
