I am done with reading "Secret of the Chimneys" - needless to say thoroughly enjoyed it! Must confess that I didn't "tumble" to the murderer till the end. But I did manage to fathom out the true identity of Anthony Cade long before he reveals it himself. :-)

I however, beg to differ with Superitendent Battle of Scotland Yard on one point. He says that since the aristocrats are normally brought up believing that no one else's opinion counts but their own, they are usually fearless and truthful. I believe that because of their position and status in the society such people are more inclined towards suppressing such truths as could jeopardize either of these.
