Mr Justice Maxell Edgar Wallace 9780755115129 Books

I read this book as part of a collection called Eight British Detective Novels. However, this is not a mystery or a detective novel. There is no detective to be found, either professional or amateur. There is not even a killing until the story is about three-fourths through. You might think then that a mystery will finally develop. But no, immediately after the murder, the story takes an abrupt change and becomes a story about the relationship of the two young male and female characters, and the murder is scarcely mentioned again. It's hard to say just what genre this story fits into. It's not really a romance and there is not much suspense. I have read and enjoyed a lot of books by Edgar Wallace, but I would not recommend this one. It just wanders aimlessly until it ends.

Mr Justice Maxell Edgar Wallace 9780755115129 Books Reviews

Mr. Justice Maxell follows the story of two business partners, Maxell and Cartwright, one of whom becomes a judge and sentences the other to prison, the woman they both marry, and their respective cousins whom they take on as their own wards. Spanning roughly a decade, the plot hinges on multiple coincidences involving mutual acquaintances meeting one another at critical points on different continents, and maintains much of its suspense by instilling most of its main characters with shady backgrounds and dubious motivations. Any suspense achieved (mostly through factual omission) is spread thin between lengthy character-driven chapters that feel more like a soap opera than a suspense novel. Not a bad book, but a somewhat dry read without much of a payoff.
