The Middle Temple Murder by J.S. Fletcher

3.0

For something so old this stands up to the modern world. A man is found murdered within the are of middle temple London. not quite first on the scene but a close second or third is Frank Sprago a journalist. The police are represented by a solid but somewhat unimaginative Rathbury. They agree to pool Resources to find the perpetrator. Whilst the police eventually pick on one man who has been economical wight he truth regarding his place in the events Sprago continues to investigate and uncovers a convoluted history. It is very easy to read and follow the workings of Sprago's mind. The characterisation is diverse and it remind me a little of [b:The 39 Steps|153492|The 39 Steps (Richard Hannay, #1)|John Buchan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1391320797l/153492._SY75_.jpg|2422487] in its story telling.
I hadn't heard of the author before but he is quite prolific and I would definitely read more from him.
