A dozen astonishing mysteries from the case files of scientific detective Craig Kennedy Whenever the New York City police department encounters a mystery so strange it seems impossible to solve, they head to Columbia University in search of Professor Craig Kennedy. When he’s not lecturing students on the science of chemistry, Kennedy uses his superlative intellect and his facility with the latest technological advancements to capture the city’s most diabolical villains. In “The Confidence King,” he matches wits with a thief whose counterfeiting skills extend from paper currency to fingerprints.

The language seems dated to modern readers, but that is a minor matter, and has its own quaint charm. Dr. Kennedy, the protagonist, is a prime example of the "scientific" detective, a Sherlock Holmes with gadgets, and there is little, if any attempt at character development. There are also stereotypes prevalent at the time the book was written. All the women are young and beautiful, especially the criminals, and the heroines are also sweet, plucky, and innocent. There are ethnic stereotypes, too, but nothing offensive.The things I liked about the book were the breadth of crimes, everything from murder to political blackmail, and the variety of situations. The author can spin a good yarn. The dependence on scientific inventions (some of which I question) becomes a bit tiring, after a while, but I suspect these stories may have been published separately in various places, so the reader wouldn't have been subjected to tale after tale with the same method of resolution. In addition, such stories are the progenitors of those we enjoy, such as all the incarnations of CSI, NCIS and other forensic TV shows and books. I recommend this book, but I do suggest reading a story or 2, then reading a bit of something else, and returning for another small dose.

The Poisoned Pen By Fran This is a series of relatively short stories with the two main characters appearing in them all. little bit old fashioned but very easy reading these mini mystery stories, and there are a lot of them. Worth reading and I would recommend it.

Walter tells the story, but does little more. He goes with Kennedy to help, but Kennedy is the sleuth and knows all the latest inventions and knows all the medical business. The solutions are great and well thought out. This is a great book.
