One had only to look at William Standerton in order to realise that he was, what is usually termed, a success in life. His whole appearance gave one this impression; the bold unflinching eyes, the square, resolute chin, the well-moulded lips, and the lofty forehead, showed a determination and ability to succeed that was beyond the ordinary.

Old Fashion Mystery By Sylvia Wadlington The Childerbridge Mystery by Guy Newell Boothy was written in 1902 and mystery writing has become much more complex since then. This tale is written in the classic English, murder in the Manor, style and has a bit of everything you'd expect including a love story, a murder, a few ghosts and a bit of suspense. Lacking the details of a contemporary piece made it fairly short and though I didn't find the work riveting, it was an enjoyable, quiet read.

Guy Newell BoothbyWritten just at the turn of the century (19th to 20th), this novel is pretty much an old English manor mystery story. Of course, there is a murder - with another mystery on top of that. Plus a ghost tale is involved. Then, too, there is the thwarted romance angle. Pretty much standard fare for such tales, except there are a few unusual twists thrown in which make it a good read.Judging this book on the time period and its type, I allot it 4 stars.William Standerton had emigrated to Australia at the age of 15. Eventually he married and had two children. His wife had died a few months after the second child was born. Years passed and he became quite wealthy. At the start of the novel he decided to take his children, 24 year old James and 20 year old Alice, and return to England, purchase a manor house and retire to comfortable country living. Just prior to departure from Australia something occurs which has a dire effect on those plans.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I'll Go Along With Most of the Other Reviewers By drkhimxz 1902 is the date on this mystery, the first by Guy Boothby that I have read. I am going to get the others in Kindle editions which, if this is a good sample of his work, are a bargain at the price (in this case-free). It is possible that you will not like the easy-going style of the period in which, customarily, the Good Guys are good clean through and the Bad Guys......The woman, of course, are lovely, intelligent, demure, and worshipful toward their Men. No nasty premarital sex nor lovemaking that goes beyond a chaste hug, a light kiss on the hand, or, in advanced cases, light kiss on the cheek, perhaps, even on the lips. The Good Guys are virile, usually well-dressed in whatever garb, rough or formal, suits the particular occasion. As much as possible, ugly detailing of the manner of death are avoided as are most of the dark side of the world (save for the iniquitous settings into which heroine and hero may, of necessity, enter for some virtuous purpose).Am I ridiculing this style: not at all. I like books like this when well done. Modified, in the hands of a better writer, this describes the John Buchan style as well. The book is an easy and quick read, little extraneous detail to slow one down. Should be good reading for those who can adapt to the popular imagery of books that would appeal to my mother, for example, who was born in the year this was published.
