He was both prolific and popular and his books reportedly sold at the rate of 5,000 a day. This enjoyable collection includes eight mystery stories by Edgar Wallace: The Lady Called Nita, The Man Who Married His Cook, Mr. Sigees Relations, The Knight Who Could Not Kneel, Her Fathers Daughter, The Dramatic Butler, Diana Helps, Con-Lacto Is Strength. These stories are fast-paced with some surprising twists, well written and great to read. Highly recommended for people who like to treat a mystery story as a solvable riddle.
