In spite of the book leaning towards the late 1800s/early 1900s, you can see glimpses of the type of Golden Age detective story that would dominate the 30s and 40s. <br /><br />These glimpses are especially noticable in the identity of the victim, which I figured out, and the identity of the murder, which has a great pyschological clue (a lack of fear). <br /><br />So, overall, I was entertained.
