A youth is lying dead in Gray Square, Bloomsbury. Constable Wiseman is at the scene, as is the handsome Frank Merril, nephew of rich John Martin.

This is slightly more straight forward than the other Wallace books I've read recently, I suppose, but still somewhat convoluted.

Forged notes have started to appear everywhere. This is slightly more straight forward than the other Wallace books I've read recently, I suppose, but still somewhat convoluted. But like all the others, we have oodles of characters who might or might not be what they appear to be at first. It's an entertaining read, if not exactly high literature.

The Edgar Wallace Mysteries was a British second-feature film series, produced at Merton Park Studios for Anglo-Amalgamated. There were 47 films in the series, made between 1960 and 1965. Producers Nat Cohen and Stuart Levy acquired the rights to all of Edgar Wallace's books and stories in 1960. These were loose adaptations, very few using his original titles, and there was no attempt to set them in the period in which Wallace wrote, probably to eliminate the need for elaborate costumes and sets.

The Daffodil Mystery by Edgar Wallace - Project Gutenberg, 2007 The book is set at around the turn of the century in London and Hertfordshire. Readers' notions of likely suspects are cleverly led along until a plot twist turns them on their heads. The murderer is the person most readers will least suspect.

Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1 April 1875 – 10 February 1932) was an English writer. Born into poverty as an illegitimate London child, Wallace left school at the age of 12. He joined the army at age 21 and was a war correspondent during the Second Boer War, for Reuters and the Daily Mail. Struggling with debt, he left South Africa, returned to London, and began writing thrillers to raise income, publishing books including The Four Just Men (1905).

House of Stratus, 16 нояб. Wallace's first marriage in 1901 to Ivy Caldecott, daughter of a missionary, ended in divorce in 1918 and he later married his much younger secretary, Violet King. In the 1920's one of Wallace's many publishers claimed that a quarter of all books read in England were written by him. His sales were exceeded only by 'The Bible'.

It was something between a drawing-room and the kind of a library which a lover of good books gathers together .

It was something between a drawing-room and the kind of a library which a lover of good books gathers together piecemeal as opportunity presents. There was comfort in the worn, but not too worn, furniture, in the deep, leather-covered settee drawn up before the red fire.

Reviews about The Forger (7):
Saithi
Aird's characters are nicely drawn and that in great part redeems the disappointment of a solution suddenly preselected rather than developed, not to speak of a lot of loose ends. Four stars because many of the characters are so nicely drawn.
Buridora
I like the constant references to poems, Shakespeare, etc. And the lack of suspense and violence. I did catch the clue but didn't think of the person as the murderer. Still a bit dubious about strength etc. Good read. Well worth the time.
Delan
I love British mysteries but this book was a bit too boring to enjoy. I finished it only to see "whodunnit" but it was a chore.
Gaxaisvem
Harm's Way is a good mystery and well written but it is too long on banter. It should have been edited to move the narrative along.

I always like her DI Sloan stories. They are all different and not repetitious.
Granijurus
Leeyes, Sloan & Crosby are back with an intriguing plot, breezy dialogue, and deft characterization. Aird's style improves with practice.
Delari
Good escape read.
I ordered this book, because I enjoyed all other Dorner thrillers (especially "Nightmare"), but this is actually "Nightmare". I don't understand why there is no law that makes it impossible for publishers to publish the same book with two different titles.
But I guess that's what amazon reviews are for: to warn other readers to order this book when they already have a copy of "Nightmare".
