Publisher's Summary:
"The Lady from Nowhere" is a detective novel by Fergus Hume.
Excerpt from the book: On the night of July 24th, in the year 1896, between the hours of eleven and twelve, Grangebury, a little-known suburb of London, was wrapped in slumber. The lamps were then extinguished by order of an economical municipality, the few lights still twinkling from the upper windows of various houses disappeared, and the little town lay under moon and stars as silent and almost as lonely as the spell-bound cities in eastern fables. Every now and then the footsteps of policemen making their rounds, could be heard echoing along the streets, and sometimes an official lantern would be flashed into dark comers to search out possible burglars or homeless beggars. But no thieves or vagabonds could be discovered; for, on the whole, Grangebury, being a comparatively new suburb, was free from such criminal pests...

So much better than its title
This author has wonderful skill in pulling interest in unexpected ways.
Very intricate plot, strong characters with many twists of behavior.
Good story, with a smattering of magical realism.
predictable and simplistic
The mystery is obvious from early on, the characters flat and dumb at times (e.g., the old not defend yourself to protect someone else nonsense). Not terrible, but not worth your time. Move on, nothing to see here.
The lady from nowhere
the story line was ok, but it drug in places. It would have been more enjoyable if it had been edited to say more with less words. The detective and other characters would have been more interesting if they had been more developed.
But I really like Fergus Hume
actually, am writing this review from memory. can't remember if it's in first person or not, and amazon isn't letting me change that part. But I really like Fergus Hume. Nice, interesting stories.
Three Stars
plot a little weak!
