    About this ebook

    The Cartwright Gardens Murder is another one of those stories of crime which made Mr. Fletcher one of the most popular writers of the Golden Era of detective crime fiction. There is a great deal of character study in it, as well as a baffling plot, and, at the end, a striking surprise. The characters who move in this drama, which is concerned with the murder by unusually subtle means and under extraordinary circumstances, of one Alfred Jakyn, are distinctly clever and original. And as is also usual in Mr. Fletcher’s novels, there is swift movement all through the story, no deviation from the main thread, and not a dull page from the exciting first chapter to the still more sensational last one.
    A first-class crime novel, which shows off all of J.S. Fletcher's superlative talent for mystery.

His earlier works were either histories or historical fiction, and he was made a fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He didn't start writing mysteries until 1914, though before he died he had written over 100 in the genre.
