"Found Drowned"

This title is the lucid tale, narrated by the amateur detective, of his investigation into the true story behind the corpse found in a seaside cave in Devonshire. The focus is entirely on the logical steps of deduction, and the intellectual satisfaction the detective, Dr. Meredith, derives from his successful inquiry. It's quite in keeping with the Golden Age and its rules of "fair play." Those looking for a novel with some mystery, witty banter, or standard suspense, however, should look elsewhere.
