One day in late September I received the following letter from my lawyer:— "My Dear Bell,— "I shall esteem it a favour if you can make it convenient to call upon me at ten o'clock to-morrow morning on a matter of extreme privacy." At the appointed hour I was shown into Mr. Edgcombe's private room. I had known him for years—we were, in fact, old friends—and I was startled now by the look of worry, not to say anxiety, on his usually serene features.

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. I enjoyed it By LittleWilma A Master of Mysteries contains six short stories about John Bell. Mr. Bell has a reputation for explaining the seemingly unexplained. He is frequently called upon to investigate circumstances which have been deemed supernatural by most if not all observers. Of course, he gets to the bottom of each matter. The authors do a good job of building the intrigue and offering solutions to the mysteries that you don't see coming. I truly enjoyed reading this one.

Good short mystery stories By Kindle Customer A series of short stories purported to be the reports of a professional investigator who specialises in debunking supernatural crimes. Set in England, period mysteries maybe 1800's.Quick pace, plausible and good conclusion.I would read more by this author.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Who needs ghosts? People are scary enough. By Whistlers Mom I read several of Meade's "Madame Sara" stories in anthologies and have been hoping to find more by her. I'm fascinated by the idea of a woman born in Ireland in 1844 who moved to London with the determination to become a writer. She certainly succeeded, with over 300 published books. Most were for children, but she wrote some wonderful mysteries, usually collaborating with one of two doctors-writers. Maybe she felt that having a man's name on her mysteries would make them more appealing. She was a shrewd marketer.This one appeared in 1898 and was co-authored by Robert Eustace. It contains six stories narrated by "ghost-hunter" John Bell. He's a wealthy man who investigates paranormal activity. Maybe he's found some real ghosts in the course of his career, but in these six stories human ingenuity and greed drive the plot.Although I've read a lot of Victorian mysteries, these are all new to me. Before the advent of epublishing, most work from that era was out of print and only a few of the very best were available in anthologies. I think it's a testament to Meade's talent that these very good stories aren't even considered to be her best.I couldn't really pick out a favorite of these stories. Bell is an excellent story-teller and a likeable man. It's interesting that I had pictured him as a young (or youngish) man and was surprised to find him giving advice to another character on the basis of being twice as old. Since the other man couldn't be less than thirty, apparently Bell is in his sixties. Highly unusual for a Victorian Era detective.The closing story ("To Prove an Alibi") uses a device that sounded very familiar to me. Wilkie Collins (the father of the Victorian mystery) used the idea in his story "A Terribly Strange Bed." I don't know when that one was published, but Collins died in 1889. Did Mrs. Meade and Dr. Eustace intentionally steal an idea from Collins? Epublishing is said to have set up fertile ground for literary theft, but maybe it's not a new phenomenon at all. And since the three authors involved are all long since with the angels, I think we can enjoy their stories without any guilt.
