4.0 out of 5 stars Observation of small details

Cute story. Made me think a bit of early Edgar Allan Poe and Sherlock stories. But without the crazy impossible machinations that the male authors contrive. Here, the observation and interpretation of small details is what solves things. Good to know women were writing detective stories too.

3.0 out of 5 stars LINCKES' GREAT CASE: A Short Story by Georgette Heyer (Originally Published in 1923)
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2021

This is the fourth "book" in a series of short stories that were originally published in magazines early on in Ms. Heyer's writing career. This one is different from the previous three I've read in that it's a mystery and not a romance... although it does appear as if our fine detective (Mr. Linckes) actually gets his girl...

LINCKES' GREAT CASE is also a bit longer than the prior stories as this one took me maybe a half hour or so to read instead of only 15-20 minutes like the others. It's honestly my least favorite of them so far though and just didn't have the charm or wit the others seemed to have in abundance. I also never felt as if I ever truly got to know our main man Linckes either, and the mystery was actually one scenario that I guessed early on.

In the end it was okay and I didn't hate it, but it never engaged my emotions or truly moved me in any way like the other stories did. I'm definitely more of a romance reader though so maybe that had a little to do with my disappointment. I do enjoy a good mystery as well, but this one just wasn't my cup of tea.

Length: The story itself contained 21 pages (it starts on 2 and ends on 23) and 416 kindle locations.
