4.0

I enjoyed reading this classic mystery.  Dr. Earle has vanished from his home and Inspector French has been called in to investigate.  There is some question of whether Dr. Earle has simply run off or whether something more sinister has happened.  Like many classic mysteries Inspector French does a lot of interviewing of suspects as well as poking around.  There are enough suspects and theories to make the mystery interesting.  I was able to figure it out.  Enjoy playing armchair detective.
