Why read it?
1 author picked The Murder Pit as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The story is set in old London and the countryside. The bumbling detective Arrowood and his down-at-the-heel but all-around good guy Barnett stumble their way through the clues and manage to come up with the correct murderer.
There is lots of toing and froing, and false leads, and every now and then, a growl of complaint from Arrowood about Sherlock Holmes and how he, Arrowood, is so underappreciated and so very superior to Holmes if only the authorities would take notice.
I thoroughly enjoyed escapades and have bought the other books in the series to follow the adventures.
