Summary: No danger of overdosing on this form of sleeping tablet.
Review: When a wooden crate containing a corpse is hooked by a fisherman and his young son near the Welsh coast, it seems unlikely that any clues or leads will provide help in identifying the corpse or the perpetrators of the murder. Inspector French of Scotland Yard investigates. In a short time he establishes where and at what time the crate was launched. By further theorizing, checking of alibis, timing journeys, and amassing evidence he believes he is ready to make an arrest.

Readers of these old-fashioned, fair play, solve the puzzle detective novels will enjoy the game of guessing the killer that Crofts provides here. He even allows a wide-awake reader to
out-smart Inspector French who almost loses the trail and his life in the final chapters.

Freeman Wills Crofts provides ideal bedtime reading. A chapter a night will guarantee that a sound sleep will follow. You will look forward to each night's chapter. You'll find nothing exciting or lurid enough to induce you to overdose.
