The Tangle

by Walter S. Masterman

Aficionados of the novels of Walter S. Masterman (1876-1946) relish his engaging crime mystery and thriller stories, sometimes incorporating elements of fantasy and the supernatural. But in 1931, while Masterman was still cementing his reputation in the mystery field, a novel of his was published which involved no homicide, no whodunit, no Scotland Yard, and no sleuthing Arthur Sinclair. 'The Tangle,' only published in England and among the scarcer of the author’s books, is Masterman’s sole foray into the romantic fiction genre. Yet despite this unfamiliar territory, the author’s quality writing style remains. With an intricate plot driven by vivid characters, dramatic tension, and humor, this romantic romp retains the author’s trademark story twists and turns.
