John Rhode's Dr. Priestley mysteries follow Dr Lancelot Priestley, a retired mathematics professor whose logical analysis helps untangle difficult crimes. The series begins with The Paddington Mystery and continues through dozens of novels including Dr. Priestley's Quest, The Ellerby Case and The Murders in Praed Street. Individual cases are largely self-contained, so strict order is not essential.

Priestley is less an action detective than an intellectual one, working through evidence until the practical mechanism behind a crime becomes clear. Read more Less
