The Solitary House by E. R. Punshon. There is something particularly fascinating about a deserted house. We know that we are on the track of a first-class, up-to-date mystery when Keith Norton, momentarily reduced to the status of a tramp, finds a fully furnished house without tenants, and that has apparently been abandoned at a moment's notice. And when the stage is further enriched by the arrival of a beautiful girl who has been attacked by some weird being on her way to the house and so terrified that she has lost her memory we feel that we need no other ingredients of a first-class tale of mystery. But the author has not done with us yet. Keith Norton finds a hidden treasure in the deserted house. He receives strange visitants and he fights a grim battle in the treetops, but as to the nature of his antagonist we must draw a veil. None the less we like the girl and so will the reader. If the publishers can keep their "mystery" series at this high level they should have no lack of readers. -- The Argonaut , Volume 84
