The Western Morning News:--"The secret of 'The Corner House' is kept until the closing chapters, and it is impossible to lay the book aside until the secret is discovered. It is an excellent romance which will be eagerly read."
The Dublin Daily Express:--"Mr. F. M. White is one of the princes of fiction. A stirring tale full of the spice of adventure, breathless in interest, skilful in narrative.... Who could refrain from reading such a story?"
The Sheffield Telegraph:--"Attention is arrested at the outset, and so adroitly is the mystery handled that readers will not skip a single page."
Irish Independent:--"A work in Mr. White's best style, so brimful of action and excitement that the reader would fain finish it at a sitting if possible."
The Daily Express:--"A most cleverly contrived farcical comedy full of really fresh incidents, and a dialogue that is genuinely amusing; there is not a character who is not always welcome and full of entertainment."
The Morning Post:--"An exceptionally clever and entertaining novel; the reader is compelled to finish the book when he has once taken it up.... It is impossible to resist its attractions."
The Daily Mail:--"This is quite a delightful book. The note is struck ingeniously and hilariously on the doorstep. It is a most enjoyable comedy, which must be read to be appreciated. We can cordially recommend it."
The Morning Advertiser says:--"A book by Headon Hill may always be relied on to provide good reading with plenty of incident. In 'A Race with Ruin' he fully maintains his reputation. A good, stirring story with an admirable and well-worked-out plot."
The Stage says:--"Not even the late Guy Boothby imagined anything more magnificently preposterous than the motive of Mr. Headon Hill's 'Millions of Mischief.'"
The Tribune says:--"Mr. Hill's new book, 'The Avengers,' has not a dull line, and one's pulse is kept on the jig all the time."
The Sheffield Telegraph says:--"The story is in the author's most approved style, one of those alluringly audacious plots that Headon Hill revels in."
Lloyd's News says:--"A story full of action, with its characters strongly drawn. The book altogether is one that can be most heartily recommended."
The Pall Mall Gazette says:--"Of sterling merit. The plot of the book is as well contrived as in any tale of the kind we have read."
