Produktbeschreibung

Gordon Holmes has a happy method in the way he talks to his readers. He takes something for granted instead of spinning out to a fine point every single idea.He gives us two diametrically opposite characters in his two detectivesthe Scotland Yard man and the amateur. Then he gives his readers the same clues the detectives have in Lady Dyke's disappearance.No reader can resist the subtle invitation to speculate as to what has happened and is going to happen. It is a most involved tangle.

Best known for his contributions to the mystery and adventure genres, Tracy made a significant mark in early 20th-century literature. His narrative style often featured tightly woven plots and engaging, complex characters that captured the imagination of his readers. One of his noteworthy novels includes 'A Mysterious Disappearance' (1905), which epitomizes Tracy's deft handling of suspense and intrigue. The plot revolves around steadily unfolding enigmas, masterfully connecting the reader to the urgency of the protagonist's quest. Much of Tracy's work has been acknowledged for its vividness and the clever interplay of dialogue that propels the action forward. His stories, while focusing on the mystery at hand, also often carry a subtle critique of the societal norms of his time.

Beyond 'A Mysterious Disappearance', his broader oeuvre includes notable titles such as 'The Wings of the Morning' (1903) and the collaborative 'The Postmaster's Daughter' (1916) with his daughter, M. M. Tracy. Louis Tracy's contribution to the literary world remains significant, and his works continue to be enjoyed by readers who appreciate the classic craftsmanship of an enthralling mystery.
