| Summary | "John Thorndyke's Cases" by R. Austin Freeman is a collection of detective stories written in the early 20th century. This book introduces the main character, Dr. John Thorndyke, a medico-legal expert, who employs scientific methods and keen observations to solve various crimes, blending elements of mystery with real forensic techniques. The opening of the book sets a vivid scene in the lonely village of Little Sundersley, where Dr. Christopher Jervis, our narrator, embarks on a quiet seaside practice as Thorndyke arrives for a visit. Their leisurely beach stroll quickly turns into an investigation when they encounter a series of peculiar footprints that hint at foul play, leading to the discovery of a murder victim on the beach. As they analyze the footprints and other evidence around the body, the opening unfolds a complex narrative that introduces the themes of scientific inquiry and deductive reasoning, setting the stage for the thrilling mysteries to follow.
