PRAISE FOR THE RED THUMB MARK
“I wouldn't be surprised if the creators of the television shows "Columbo," "Quincy, M.E." and the various incarnations of "CSI" all, at some point earlier in their lives, read and fell in love with "The Red Thumb Mark." Reading for the first time R. Austin Freeman's detective novel, first published in 1907, is like discovering the wellspring of every subsequent book, film and television show in which a detective uses innovative scientific or medical techniques to solve a crime.” Daniel
“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

THE EYE OF OSIRIS
“London, late 1890's, early 1900's, science, murder mystery, Egyptian antiquities, Dr. John Thorndyke (no Holmesian addictions) as a professor of medicine and 'pathological sleuth'. What's not to like? And a little to learn about murder, the problem of survivorship, a bit of a love story, too” Karen S

JOHN THORNDYKE’S CASES
“A kind of Edwardian London CSI. It appealed to my scientific mind. Essentially a collection of short stories featuring the remarkable deductive powers of Dr Thorndyke.” Jack

THE MYSTERY OF 31 NEW INN
“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
