Fletcher mystery so far, and I'm as big a fan of this prolific writer as his numerous avid readers were in the twenties. Fletcher turned out mysteries to the tune of three a year. But The Middle of Things is as witty, clever and well written as if the author devoted years to it.Richard Viner, "a young gentleman of means and leisure," takes his habitual late walk one night and encounters the body of a murdered man in a dark passageway. From that point on, Viner finds himself in the middle of things. Accused of the murder is an old school mate of Viner's who's gone down in the world. Viner makes it his mission to find the real murderer.He is ably assisted by a bevy of solicitors and investigators -- and most of all by his maiden aunt, Miss Bethia Penkridge. Miss Penkridge is a worthy woman who rings for tea in every crisis, and this book is full of crises. She has a weakness for sensational novels, and her habit of reading whodunits every night has sharpened her powers of deduction to a marvelous degree. These powers will come into play precisely when most needed.The plot offers us a cast of sinister and highly accomplished criminals, a truly noble young nobleman, and a stubborn policeman whose tunnel vision may hang an innocent man. The bookish Viner is an excellent protagonist, almost as clever as his charming aunt. There are quite a few characters who have lived in Australia, which adds an exotic flavor.The many threads of the complex plot come together in the end seamlessly, with a romantic twist as a bonus. The Middle of Things is one of the great classics of Golden Age detective fiction. If you're just discovering Fletcher, this is a good book to begin with.

It begins with the simple premise that "truth is stranger than fiction"; and then goes on to prove it. Well-paced, it does not drag; but moves quickly with our hero trying valiently to uncover the necessary clues to save a former friend down on his luck. An exciting tale, it has just enough twists & turns to make it work & keep "you glued to your seat & the book". I think it is more enjoyable & believable than some of his other work, for example, Dead Men's Money.A cozy mystery, The Middle of Things is not as slow & verbose as many of this time period & yet the details are enough to immerse you in this era of candles, top coats & hansom cabs. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable read.And again thanks to Amazon for making thses wonderful old books available to the reading public.

Truth is Stranger Than Fiction By Samantha Glasser A wealthy man named Ashton is found murdered in an alley, apparantly robbed for his jewelry and pocketbook. The police believe they have the killer, a young man who the next morning tries to pawn one of the stolen rings. Viner, however, the man who discovered the body and who is friends with the accused, believes otherwise. It is a quick race to find the real guilty party in order to save an innocent man. But none of the information is completely clear; the victim has a mysterious past and there is no rational motive. His charge, a young girl named Miss Wickham, proves to be of little help and Ashton had no close friendships. It is up to the lawyers and Viner to unravel the mystery that has roots in royalty.Another exciting J. S. Fletcher murder mystery, The Middle of Things keeps the reader guessing until the very end. The story features several Fletcher staples, such as a curious and bored average citizen, a case of mistaken identities, and a believable ending. The style is a bit dated, but it is not so antiquated as to be foreign or difficult. Fans of mysteries and Fletcher's writing alike will not be disappointed.
