ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Arthur B. Reeve (1880 - 1936)
Arthur Benjamin Reeve (October 15, 1880 - August 9, 1936) was an American mystery writer. He is best known for creating the series character Professor Craig Kennedy, sometimes called "The American Sherlock Holmes," and his Dr Watson-like sidekick Walter Jameson, a newspaper reporter, in eighteen detective novels. The bulk of Reeve's fame is based on the 82 Craig Kennedy stories, published in Cosmopolitan magazine between 1910 and 1918. These were collected in book form; with the third collection, the short stories were stitched together into pseudo-novels. The 12-volume Craig Kennedy Stories came out in 1918; it reissued Reeve's books-to-date as a matched set

I listened to some of these stories back in early 2000's 0:03 and one of them had a weird sounding bit of technology which Kennedy used in solving the crime. It was called something like "detectoscope" and I thought, oh that can't be real! I googled just for grins and it was a real thing! These old stories do sometimes sound like they just cant be real but they are. Kennedy is so polite and dignified you know he was designed to behave opposite of Holmes. Well, American, so there you are! Thanks for this upload. I enjoyed all the Arthur Reeves stories. Hope you can bring us more.
