I always like those murders with a bizarre setup. (I don't mean I like to commit them. I just like to read about them.) To name a few examples, there are Agatha Christie's ABC Murder Case, and Sir Arthur's Wisteria Lodge. This story, the Journal, is not exactly the most creative setup at all, but it is still good enough for an interesting start.The story starts when a woman in a remote village visits a neighbour's door to say hi, but only to discover that she and her fiancé were found dead. And they were not just dead. Their hands were tied to their chairs. As the protagonists, Inspector Jack O'Neil and his friend Frank Carr investigated, they encountered more and more mystery.From that point on, the story is quite good. There is a lot of mystery, excitement and suspense. While this is not the greatest detective work I have ever read, it is certainly recommended for those who like this genre.
