While Anna Katherine Green's Miss Butterworth my be more frequently spoken of, well she was thought of as the first female detective! Her Detective Mr Gryce while gently matured in this 1917 classic is still the superb super sleuth he was when the venerable opposite to the inimitable Miss Butterworth in her 1897 debut "The affair next door". Although mature OK aged, Mr Gryce still sharp of intellect superbly directs us to a most satisfying conclusion in this almost locked room mystery in a museum. It is a wonderful carefully crafted story.
