In Death Takes a Partner, Johnâ�,�¯Rhode presents another compelling entry in his distinguished Dr.â�,�¯Lancelotâ�,�¯Priestley detective series. The story begins when the onceâ�,�‘stable partnership of the Cheriton Engineering Works is shattered by tragedy: Wilfredâ�,�¯Cheriton, the quiet technical genius of the firm, dies suddenly under suspicious circumstances. While his cousin Clarence appears outwardly sociable and successful, the business relationship between the two has long been fraught with tension and conflicting ambitions.
For fans of Golden Age detective fiction who appreciate straightâ�,�‘forward yet cleverly designed mysteries, Death Takes a Partner is a satisfying and intellectually rewarding read. With Dr.â�,�¯Priestley in his element and Waghorn steadily piecing together the case, this novel continues Johnâ�,�¯Rhode's legacy of precision, logic, and thoughtful entertainment.
