Dr. Thorndyke has remained something of a hidden treasure, known only by mystery freaks who sought the out-of-print books by his creator, R.Austin Freeman in the now almost mythical musty, dusty used bookshops of (it seems like) only a few years ago.But that has all changed. In recent years, Freeman's works began appearing in trade pb editions on amazon. They were a good deal at around $6.00 apiece. So, shaking the dust from my hair, I bought a bunch of them. I should have waited till I got a kindle last Christmas.To illustrate my point, the ebook I am now recommending to you costs $.99. It consists of 3 novels and a short story collection. I probably paid $35-$40 (including shipping) I guess. Something you can get on kindle now for less than $1.00.But forget the money for now. Here is your chance to get turned on to perhaps the greatest detective of all time. Don't shout "heresy" yet, Holmesians. I'm a great fan of the world's first consulting detective too. But the Doctor has a totally different approach: scientific, methodical yes. It takes some getting used to, but once you're in--you're hooked.
