~ OMETHING of novelty appears in
~ this mystery story in that the narra-
tive covers over sixty years-a "con-
tinued-in-our- next mystery. The first
corpse in the case was slaughtered in 1861:
others followed at short intervals until
1865 and then the Terror had to wait fifty
three years before it got another. The
story itself is somewhat too long drawn
out. like the murder, but it is an ingeni-
ously elaborated plot with plenty of very
good mysteriousness in it, The stage
scenery is unusually sumptuous, especially
in the furnishings and architecture of the
splendid old Colonial house i'm Maryland
with it's library and wonderful stained glass
windows. 1t also has a scientist who was
half century ahead of his time in his
discoveries in physics. but who kept their
practical application to his own murderous
uses. Fortunately. the world at large has
cries. Mr. Sutphen must have spent an
appalling amount of time and energy in
working out the complex cipher which
figures largely in unraveling the mystery,
but the reader may take it's accuracy for
granted.
