“This man Austin Freeman is a wonderful performer. He has no equal in his genre.” Raymond Chandler

“I thoroughly enjoyed this old fashioned mystery. It was wonderfully written and at many times had me thinking, well, just how the hell was the darn crime really committed. I can assure anyone who loves old fashioned crime mysteries that they'll truly enjoy this, so join Dr. Thorndyke and Dr. Jervis as they solve the mystery.” Marts

“Good mystery! Thorndyke reminds me a lot of Hercule Poirot or Sherlock Holmes. He's very smart but wants his assistants (and readers) to come to their own conclusions. The twist at the end may surprise you, but John Thorndyke is never surprised.” Becki

“Mr. Freeman is a past-master of the gradual, cumulative art of mystifying. The facts he keeps casually mentioning become a maze of criminal cunning. At the moment of his own choosing he discloses a plan of admirable symmetry.” Times Literary Supplement

"As a craftsman in the more literary sense, Dr. Freeman presents an interesting anomaly. His narrative style is so often that of late-Victorian romanticism that it is not unusual to find him unconsciously classified in the Doyle period. Indeed, the domestic trappings of a typical Freeman tale bring to the fire-lit chambers in King's Bench Walk much the same mood of snugness and nostalgic bachelor bonhomie which is destined to bespeak Baker Street to the end of time. But in his pioneer insistence on the fair-play method, the creator of John Thorndyke, M.D., was a Modern before the Moderns. He was the true and undoubted 'parent' of the scientific detective story in the highest meaning of the phrase, and remains today the living dean of that form -- if not, indeed, of all detective story writers of whatever style or persuasion." Haycraft, Murder for Pleasure
