Murder of the Ninth Baronet

The Murder of the Ninth Baronet by J.S. Fletcher is an interesting series of cases handled by private investigators. 

The murder of a man, recently back in Britain after a long time overseas, appears wrapped up in a number of other crimes in a Midlands town, including other murders and the theft of diamonds. There is also the question as to whether or not the victim was the long-lost heir of the local aristocracy. The 9th baronet of the country estate.

This is an interesting enough read with some good red herrings. However, the story is somewhat marred by the eventual culprit being a bit left field and also uncovered rather suddenly. I enjoyed the story being based in the Midlands.
