|summary=Easy-reading crime from yester-year…all of it set in continental Europe. Russian jewel thieves, dubious policeman, miracle-working teachers and a fair slathering of the jet-set glamour were what made these stories popular in their time. You need to be wary of reading with a modern mindset, but for those with a love of old-school detective stories there are some workable puzzles and some interesting historical insights into the development of the genre.
