The Cardinal Moth

by Fred M. White

The Cardinal Moth by Fred White - Sir Clement Frobisher cynically remarked that his orchid-house has cost him more than �100,000, but his love of flowers was his only weakness. He was said to have been kicked out of the diplomatic service after an operation connected with certain Turkish Bonds. The scandal was an old one, and he had retired from public view. But all of that was about to change, as fate would have it... American author Frederick Merrick White (1859-1935) wrote novels and short stories under the name "Fred M. White" including his "Doom of London" series, a science-fiction set in which multiples catastrophes affect London.

If you like good mystery-adventure, you'll like this book. There are plenty of twists and turns, along with a very mysterious murder weapon. It will most definitely keep you guessing!

Moth was written in 1905 - 111 years ago. Fred White wrote a lot of books, most of them mystery. This one is well written in a slightly Sherlockian, neo-gothic, with a touch of early noir style, so just full of the White stuff and a decent, if dated, read. Orchids anyone?

6/10. Very simple mystery, but it has some funny moments.
