The Adventures of Martin Hewitt

Who else could have so quickly connected a partial sheet of music wrapped around a rock and tossed through a sitting room window with an infamous decades-old robbery? Would anyone else have taken seriously the fears of an eccentric old woman who swore thieves were after her most prized possession: a snuffbox fashioned from the actual wood of Noah’s Ark? England’s greatest crime-solver Martin Hewitt uses his superior intellect and genial charm to unmask thieves, murderers, and dangerous fanatics. „The Adventures of Martin Hewitt” stories are well written with the usual detective story tropes – a sidekick narrator, baffled police, all the clues within the narrative, the announcement followed by the detective explaining his brilliance.
