http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040JI3JM/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_imgAs a mystery writer and former CSI, I am always fascinated by old scientific detective novels. It can be amazing what was known forty, sixty, a hundred, years ago, and I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. "Unexpurgated" is a silly adjective, though, because Reeve didn't write anything that needed to be expurgated. I recommend this book to all detective story buffs, particularly those who like old books. These are like old wine: they aged well.
