About this ebook
Description In his London townhouse, city magnate Sir Christopher Clarke is found lying murdered. At the other end of the house his safe hangs open and rifled, and earlier in the day he had visited his solicitors in order to make a drastic change in his will. Later it is discovered that there has been fraud connected with the dead man, and this is but one of the many complications with which Superintendent Mitchell is faced. Fortunately he has the assistance of young Constable Owen, a talented young Oxford graduate who, finding all other careers closed to him by the 'economic blizzard' of the early thirties, has joined the London Police force. Information Received is the first of E.R. Punshon's acclaimed Bobby Owen mysteries, first published in 1933 and the start of a series which eventually spanned thirty-five novels. This edition features a new introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans. "What is distinction? The few who achieve it step - plot or no plot - unquestioned into the first rank. We recognized it in Sherlock Holmes, and in Trent's Last Case, in The Mystery of the Villa Rose, in the Father Brown stories and in the works of Mr. E.R. Punshon we salute it every time." Dorothy L. Sayers

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A prominent financier is murdered in his own home, his safe rifled, and at the same time, there's indications of massive embezzlement at his solicitors. How does it all fit together? Trying to fit it together is a University-graduate constable, who is very keen to get on with the C.I.D. The C.I.D. man is a bit annoying, and has a stock phrase he likes to rattle off, and even the hero of the story can be a bit grating with his ambition. Not many to root for in this story, and I wasn't particularly happy with the solution, which came a bit out of nowhere -- at least the murder part. The robbery part was simple. Oh, yes. Hamlet figures into this, too. Rather ham-fistedly.
