Writing under the pseudonym Neil Gordon, A. G. Macdonell wrote
several crime and thriller novels. In the classic genre of '20s and
'30s crime fiction, Macdonell managed to introduce a different
element, unusual twists that keep the reader captivated and anxious
to discover what came next. The Shakespeare Murders is another
example of Macdonell's carefully thought-through detective stories,
where the detective is aided by the star of the cast. Peter
Kerrigan saw a pickpocket take the wallet of a shabby little man,
and with speed and precision he stole from the thief. Peter was a
handsome gentleman-adventurer - not too scrupulous - and before he
returned the pocketbook he read the letter which it contained. It
was so that he heard of the million pound treasure, and began the
search which was to lead him through so many horrors. At Marsh
Manor he found the police trying to solve a murder, and lent
somewhat grudging assistance; three more violent deaths followed
rapidly. The working out of the solution to the mystery, and the
final disposition of the treasure are brilliantly satisfying. The
strictly logical framework of the book is filled in witty and
entertaining fashion with strange and amusing characters. Macdonell
uses his usual skill, well-dosed with ingenious twists, and a fast
moving story-line, to keep the reader riveted to the book. Chase,
conspiracy, and American gangsters add to the excitement of solving
the Shakespeare riddle.
