As explained by the author, the evidence is laid out exactly as it is discovered with nothing hidden. This is so the reader can solve the case themselves knowing all the facts as they first appear. Roger Sheringham, a budding Sherlock investigates the case through assumptions that are quite often wrong, rather than hard evidence. I found it to be a dreary read from the start and realised very early on who was guilty. The ending was predictable
