Finding a book by the Baroness is always a pleasure. This reprint of her 1912 dozen stories is no exception. Lady Molly is certainly the forebear of Aunty Agatha's Jane Marple, intuitively solving the most baffling of crimes, abetted by her faithful assistant Mary (a true Dr. Watson if there ever was one). One might also surmise that there is somewhat of Uncle Erle's Perry Mason in the denouement of these tales as Lady Molly always devises a scheme to get the criminal to expose himself. "I admit it. I done it, and I'm glad," and all that Perry Mason rot. Lady Molly has more finesse though.
