Man Who Was Thursday

This is a gripping adventure story of murderous criminals and brilliant policemen, The Man Who Was Thursday succeeds superbly; it is a magnificent tour-de-force of suspense-writing. However, the reader will soon discover that it is much more than that. Carried along on the boisterous rush of the narrative by Chesterton's wonderful high-spirited style, he will soon see that he is being carried into much deeper waters than he had planned on.
