Another free ebook from the Gutenberg project and another Joseph Muller mystery is my subject. The Case of the Pool of Blood in the Pastor's Study by Auguste Groner is a nice, short, and enjoyable mystery.
The protagonist is a detective in the Austrian Imperial Police. He's different than the other detectives. Firstly, because he's an excon. He understands the criminal mind. He's very methodical and can visualize scenarios to place situations. He hardly eats nor sleeps, when in the middle of a case. But solve the "who done it," he will.
In this case, the village houses an insane asylum and the director will sometimes walk around the village with inmates. The suspects include some of the inmates and maybe a villager or maybe one of the keepers. Trust Detective Muller to see what others miss.
