關於本電子書

Helen Vardon finds herself in a predicament after overhearing her father and a man named Otway arguing about funds that have gone missing from a trust. Believing that it’s the only way to save her father from going to prison, Helen agrees to marry Otway, who’s many years her senior. But their matrimony precipitates a series of events that culminates with Helen being suspected of murder. The only man who can crack this quandary is Dr. John Thorndyke—expert in both forensics and strange cases.

Helen Vardon’s Confession is the 8th book in the Dr. Thorndyke Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

This ebook features a new introduction from Otto Penzler and has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

關於作者

R. Austin Freeman (1862–1943) was a British author of detective stories. A pioneer of the inverted detective story, in which the reader knows from the start who committed the crime, Freeman is best known as the creator of the “medical jurispractitioner” Dr. John Thorndyke. First introduced in The Red Thumb Mark (1907), the brilliant forensic investigator went on to star in dozens of novels and short stories over the next decades.
