Review of Seen in the Shadow

04 Sep 2019 - Courtney Floyd

Published in The Athenaeum (10 May 1913)

In this story a wealthy youth is murdered by a jealous woman, and suspicion falls on his sister, who inherits his money. A deformed street-musician who can see in the dark is the only figure with a touch of originality. The book is carelessly written, and the construction of the plot, the characters, and particularly the style suffer in consequence.
