About this book
R. Austin Freeman did something in 1912 that nobody had tried before: he told the reader whodunit on page one. Story after story opens with the crime itself, shown in full, the killer's nerves and small mistakes and all. Only then does Dr. John Thorndyke arrive with his research case, his microscope, and his refusal to guess. The pleasure is not surprise but watching a trained scientist read the physical world, a speck of glass, a smear of mud, until the evidence closes around a man we already know is guilty. Freeman called it the inverted detective story, and every screen detective who works the same trick is in his debt.
