Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Here is a mystery story that is extremely hard to leave. The plot is a new one and the book is well written. Temple-Ellis has created some unusually breath-taking situations. The reader is dashed from one startling cry in the middle of the night to numerals written in blood on windows. There will always be, as long as the human race survives, something weirdly fascinating about the unexpected. And Temple-Ellis's Inconsistent Villains is full of the unexpected. The story opens in a little Essex village in England. Captain Montrose Arbuthnot and his friend, Sir Edmund King, have rented a place called Desolation Cottage for a few weeks. Arbuthnot was avoiding a case he did not wish to accept in London. Overnight this poky little village becomes the scene of terrible crime. First one man is murdered and then another. A factory on the fringe of the village becomes a place of mystery and danger. Arbuthnot, because he is a detective, and King, because his curiosity has got the better of him, decide to run down the perpetrators of the outrages. The way they do this makes The Inconsistent Villains a corking good mystery melodrama."

Temple-Ellis was the pseudonym for Neville Aldridge Holdaway (1894-1954). The Inconsistent Villains was the first of ten mysteries, several of which featured Montrose Arbuthnot as detective.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "On the lonely downs in the Isle of Wight is situated a little bungalow. In the dining-room a man lay dead, shot through the heart. On the veranda outside a young man occupying a deck-chair is absorbed in Palgrave's Golden Treasury. It was to this scene that Montrose Arbuthnot and Sir Edmund King, criminal investigators, were called by a frantic servant. Dalton Flyte is the slain man; the young fellow outside is Thornton Rodd, civil engineer, who claims that he is on a walking tour. Who was Mr. Flyte? Nobody seems to know. But the fact remains that somebody is anxious to get into the dead man's bungalow, and exciting events occur after the detectives take up their residence there. This story does not move quickly. Mr. Temple-Ellis takes his time, and succeeds fairly well in holding the attention of his reader. Occasional gleams of humor are interspersed to lighten the story, and the author is most successful in the portrayal of the romance that rounds out his theme."
