THE SKETCH.--"The interest of the book, always keen and absorbing, is due to some extent to a puzzle so admirably planned as to defy the penetration of the most experienced novel reader."
THE SCOTSMAN.--"Mr. Oppenheim's stories always display much melodramatic power and considerable originality and ingenuity of construction. These and other qualities of the successful writer of romance are manifest in 'A Daughter of the Marionis.'"
THE ABERDEEN DAILY JOURNAL.--"The story is rich in sensational incident and dramatic situations. It is seldom, indeed, that we meet with a novel of such power and fascination."
THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL.--"The story is worthy of Merriman at his very best. It is a genuine treat for the ravenous and often disappointed novel reader."
THE WORLD.--"It is full of dramatic incidents, thoroughly exciting and realistic. There is not one dull page from beginning to end."
THE BOOKMAN.--"Intensely dramatic. The book is an achievement at which the author may well be gratified."
THE LITERARY WORLD.--"As a story of interest, with a deep-laid and exciting plot, this of the 'Mysterious Mr. Sabin' can hardly be surpassed."
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.--"We cannot but welcome with enthusiasm a really well-told story like 'A Millionaire of Yesterday.'"
THE NOTTINGHAM GUARDIAN.--"We must give a conspicuous place on its merits to this excellent story. It is only necessary to read a page or two in order to become deeply interested."
THE YORKSHIRE POST.--"A weird and fascinating story, which for real beauty and originality, ranks far above the ordinary novel."
MODERN SOCIETY.--"The fame of Mr. Oppenheim is world wide, and in 'For the Queen' the author lives up to the highest traditions of his reputation as a writer of fiction."
Mr. Oppenheim ranges with assured mastery from grave to gay, while diplomatic scandals and political intrigues are woven with that delicate skill which we expect from him as a sort of right.
Mr. Oppenheim is one of the cleverest weavers of plots who write the English language, and he has many examples of his skill. "Expiation" is quite one of his best.
An absorbing tale of unusual interest and mystery. Mr. White's high reputation for sensationalism is well known, and "The Open Door" will certainly uphold it.
