It was early one morning when going down to bathe that Roland Lawson came suddenly upon a grim spectacle-the body of Monsieur Auberge, stabbed to death. Why had this Frenchman been murdered just after his arrival in England?
A murder in Paris makes the case more baffling, more mysterious. Detective-Sergeant Perivale collaborates with Pelabos, the French detective, to unravel a singular situation.
This detective story is intriguing and exciting, and the thrill of deep mystery is well sustained. Beginning with what appears to be an ordinary murder with robbery as the motive, the story develops new angles in each succeeding chapter.
Mystery is piled on mystery, with English and French detectives working together to find the criminals and the motives for the crime. They are no superman, these detectives of Mr. Fletcher's. Time after time they are baffled, and in the end they do solve the mystery.
The Passenger to Folkestone by J.S. Fletcher is a captivating mystery novel that takes readers on a thrilling journey through the picturesque landscapes of early 20th-century England. J.S. Fletcher masterfully weaves a narrative that keeps readers guessing at every turn. The characters, each with their own motives and secrets, add depth to the plot, making it impossible to predict the outcome.
With its richly developed characters, evocative setting, and a plot full of unexpected twists, this novel is a must-read for fans of classic mysteries and historical fiction.
When J.S. Fletcher sets out to write a mystery story, as he frequently does, he usually makes a workmanlike job of it. The Passenger to Folkestone is no exception; indeed, it is one of Fletcher's best. -New York Times Review, September 19, 1927
