Аннотация

Mr. L. A. G. Strong’s new story of murder and sudden death has many striking and unusual qualities. It is in essence a novel of high distinction. Mr. Strong concentrates on what is psychologically the most interesting part of every murder case—the circumstances that precede the crime. He shows how murder is the logical outcome of certain mental processes and describes convincingly and dramatically the events that lead—almost inevitably—to the perpetration of the crime. All Fall Down is a notable achievement in its lifelike portrayal of character. Paul Gilkison, a young bookseller, slightly prim and rather diffident; Inspector Ellis McKay of Scotland Yard, cockily robust and worldly wise; Matthew Baildon, an old collector of first editions who loves his books better than his own family; the village school teachers Eunice Caunter and David Rattray, caught in a gamut of conflicting emotions; all are characters that live vividly in the reader’s memory long after he has finished this absorbing story in which they play their strikingly individual parts.
