| This is a story book. ‘An unmistakable success. Regarded simply as a story, we have not for a long while read anything more intensely dramatic. It would compel notice for the mere manner of its telling. Not often has an author who has boldly departed from the traditional lines of the writer of fiction so completely vindicated his method. There is high quality in this book, with its vivid glimpses of life, and its clever characterization…. Altogether, a notable book; and if its popularity be at all commensurate with its merits, it will have a great vogue. ’—Sun. ‘The narrative never flags…. A realistic representation of a criminal trial. ’—Athenæum. ‘Lovers of exciting fiction, powerful, original, and dramatic, should read “The Queen against Owen. ” Narrative after narrative, somewhat in the Wilkie Collins manner, draws you on until the mystery that surrounds the crime—which remains a mystery almost to the very end—disappears, and then you draw a breath of relief, but not before. ’—Sporting Life. |
