The Murder of the Ninth Baronet by
J.S. Fletcher is an interesting series of cases handled by private investigators. The murder of a man, recently back in Britain after a long time overseas, appears wrapped up in a number of other crimes including other murders and the theft of diamonds. There is also the question as to whether or not he was the long-lost heir, the 9th baronet indeed, of a country estate.
An interesting read with some good red herrings. However, the story is somewhat marred by the eventual culprit being a bit left field and also uncovered rather suddenly. I enjoyed the story being based in the Midlands.
