Mr. Oppenheim never fails to entertain us.-Boston Transcript. The author has acquired an admirable technique of the sort demanded by the novel of intrigue and mystery.-The Dial, Chicago. Mr. Oppenheim is a past master of the art of constructing ingenious plots and weaving them around attractive characters.-London Morning Post. By all odds the most successful among the writers of that class of fiction which, for want of a better term, may be called "mystery stories."-Ainslee's Magazine. Readers of Mr. Oppenheim's novels may always count on a story of absorbing interest, turning on a complicated plot, worked out with dexterous craftsmanship.-Literary Digest, New York. We do not stop to inquire into the measure of his art, any more than we inquire into that of Alexandre Dumas, we only realize that here is a benefactor of tired men and women seeking relaxation.-The Independent, New York.
Autorenporträt
Edward Phillips Oppenheim was an English author who lived from October 22, 1866, to February 3, 1946. He wrote a lot of best-selling genre fiction with glamorous characters, international drama, and fast-paced action. They were popular forms of fun because they were easy to read. In 1927, he was on the cover of Time magazine. Edward Phillips Oppenheim was born in Tottenham, London, on October 22, 1866. His parents were Henrietta Susannah Temperley Budd and a leather merchant named Edward John Oppenheim. He went to Wyggeston Grammar School until the sixth form in 1883, but had to quit because his family couldn't afford it. For almost twenty years, he worked in his father's business. His father helped pay for the release of his first book, which did just enough to cover its costs. It was under the name "Anthony Partridge" that he released five of his books from 1908 to 1912.
