Loading... Martin Hewitt, Investigator (1894)by Arthur Morrison
   None No current Talk conversations about this book. Story 7, "The Affair of the Tortoise," is super cringey. The crime is intriguing, as always, but the racism is overwhelming. (  ) fernandie | Sep 15, 2022 |  I love detective stories and I have become more and more interested in the beginnings of the genre. To this end, I read a lot of Victorian detective stories. Martin Hewitt operated in the same London as Sherlock Holmes, but Hewitt is cheerful and working class as opposed to Holmes' idiosyncratic aesthete. The 8 stories in this collection are pleasant and relatively clever, but Hewitt is a fairly generic character and none of his opponents are memorably evil or terribly clever. Pleasant read, but nothing sticks much (  ) Bjace | Sep 18, 2012 | no reviews | add a review
This Mr. Martin Hewitt had however full credit and reward for his exploit from his firm and from their client and more than one other firm of lawyers engaged in contentious work made good offers to entice Hewitt to change his employers. No library descriptions found. |
