“An admirably written novel of intrigue.... The author
depicts all the various situations by which a plot most
dexterously contrived is unravelled.... This is
melodrama, to be sure, but it is very distinctly of the
police variety. Both in characterization and in style it
is far superior to the ordinary mystery story.”
_From The Providence Journal_
“The House in Queen Anne Square can be pronounced the
best mystery story recently found on a constantly
lengthening list.... It is about the cleverest mystery
that anybody could conceive.... It may now be suspected
that the absorbing story is written with unusual
skill.... It is not your ordinary detective tale turned
out as you wait.”
_From The Pittsburg Dispatch_
“An interesting and well-sustained mystery story, whose
solution baffles the reader until the very end.”
_From The New York Times_
“Mystery, the confusion of identities and crime of a
horrible subtle nature carry the reader through exciting
chapters. There are many dramatic moments.... At the
tale’s close comes a very astonishing climax.”
