The Uttermost Farthing

Meer over het boek

Featuring Dr. Thorndyke, a medico-legal forensic investigator, this work showcases Richard Austin Freeman's innovative approach to mystery writing. Unlike traditional detective stories, it employs the 'inverted detective story' format, revealing the criminal's identity at the outset while focusing on the detective's journey to unravel the case. Originally published in 1914, this edition includes a new introduction, highlighting Freeman's evolution from a Doyle-inspired writer to a distinctive voice in the genre.
