Overview

In Dr. Priestley's Quest, brilliant logician Dr. Lancelot Priestley returns to confront a mystery built on deception, misdirection, and carefully hidden truth. When an apparently simple case unravels into something far more complex, Priestley applies calm reasoning and relentless logic to uncover what others have overlooked. Each step of the investigation challenges assumptions and rewards careful attention, as Priestley pieces together evidence with mathematical precision. Rather than relying on action or coincidence, the solution emerges through clear thinking, methodical analysis, and the steady elimination of impossibilities. Written during the height of the Golden Age of detective fiction, this second novel in the Lancelot Priestley series delivers a classic fair-play mystery designed for readers who enjoy intellectual challenges, clever construction, and satisfying conclusions. Dr. Priestley's Quest is an ideal next read for fans of traditional British whodunits and logic-driven detective stories.
