Negative Positive
Title: Pretty good mystery
Review: I liked this one a lot- it's a mystery about a man falsely accused of assault and his efforts to bring the guilty party to justice. It actually has several mysteries going on at once, and Le Queux does well at intertwining them throughout the story. Definitely not a 5-star book, though, for a few reasons- The ending is just too simple, but I can't explain why without spoiling the story for you. The author will tell you something 5 or 6 times, like a person's true identity, when twice would have been plenty. The story takes place in 6 locations around Europe, but the author rarely describes the countries and cities. The title character is only in about 2% of the book, so I would have preferred a better title. This is the first book by Le Queux I've read, so, despite the things I didn't like, I'm looking forward to more of his books.
