The Poisoned Pen
Arthur B. Reeve
Book Overview:
This book contains twelve of Professor Kennedy's adventures. The interesting thing about these stories is Kennedy uses newly discovered science from his time period, which we take for granted today. The title story features the use of special inks. One which disappears in sunlight and one which appears in sunlight, so that the text on a note found in possession of a murder victim changes completely, making it almost impossible for Kennedy to track down the killer. Each story features a fascinating look at life in the early 20th century, and even includes some action along the way.

Imagine my surprise to see Kazanovitch already there, seated in the wrecked office, furiously smoking cigarettes and showing evident signs of having something very disturbing on his mind. The moment he caught sight of me, he hurried forward.
"Is Professor Kennedy coming soon?" he inquired eagerly. "I was going up to his laboratory, but I called up Nevsky, and she said he would be here at noon." Then he put his hand up to my ear and whispered, "I have found out who it was who shadowed Kharkoff."

I'm a fan of early detective stories, so this short story collection was immediately downloaded from FadedPage. It is interesting, mainly because of the "scientific detective" who is Reeve's hero. He is the ultimate "jack of all trades", utilizing new camera techniques, audio recording, the forerunn
The American Sherlock Holmes.
I enjoyed this book. I don’t understand very very low reviews, perhaps not enough sex, bad language and violence.
A collection of short stories from the American version, so they say, of Sherlock Holmes.
To be honest, I don't care for the original Doyle stories--they're very much gimmick and very little character. Modern iterations of the characters are much more engaging.
However, even compared to the rather d
This is the first short story book I have listened to. There were 9 or 10 stories. Though I did enjoy 3 a lot, the other 6/7 I found hard to follow or if I could follow them the ending was dull and seemed rushed.
An interesting array of mystery stories:
As each story had its own mystery there was always something new to ponder. This book was quite interesting with all of the older scientific methods he used in each tale.
I really liked this, it was light and fun. It tried to be Sherlock Holmes and while it fell a little short of that I still liked it.
Sometimes the science explanations get a little long-winded, I must have tuned out a whole paragraph of The Campaign Grafter because Reeve just went on about processes
