THE AVENGERS.
The Tribune.—Mr. Headon Hill's new book, "The Avengers," has not a dullline, and one's pulse is kept on the jig all the time. He deserves thehighest admiration for the consistent way in which he has avoided theslightest suspicion of probability.
The Liverpool Courier.—We can strongly recommend the story. It is oneof the best things Mr. Hill has done.
The Dundee Advertiser.—"The Avengers" maintains the highest reputationof Mr. Headon Hill as a novelist. The story is crowded with incident,and, unlike many novels of its class, commands the closest interest ofthe reader from start to finish.
MILLIONS OF MISCHIEF.
The Globe.—Ingenuity could no further go; and besides its ingenuity thestory can boast of some clever and effective writing.
The Stage.—Not even the late Guy Boothby imagined anything moremagnificently preposterous than the motive of Mr. Headon Hill's"Millions of Mischief."
Morning Leader.—Mr. Hill has woven a clever and dramatic plot. He hasseldom put greater finish into his work, and the result is a strikingand vigorous book.
HER SPLENDID SIN.
The Perthshire Courier.—Headon Hill is a master hand at devising andunravelling mysteries. He always gives us good reading with plenty ofthrilling incident. He has never told an intensely absorbing story withmore dramatic directness than this one. The story is admirably written,the interest never flagging.
The Northern Whig.—Her Splendid Sin stands for sensationalism of adecidedly striking sort. The novel is written with vigour and is basedon ideas which go to the making of a rattling good story.
The Dundee Courier.—The reader is hurried breathless from one excitingsituation to another, till in the end the nefarious schemes of asyndicate of villains are checkmated, and virtue is rewarded. The bookis written in the author's best style.
UNMASKED AT LAST.
The Morning Leader.—Mr. Headon Hill is a past master of thrills and,like Mr. Holmes, causes us almost to believe that the most innocentprofessions are really dangerous.
The Christian World.—The various sensations are very cleverly devisedand Mr. Headon Hill knows how to hold one's attention. The motor carrace, which is the closing episode of a well conceived plot, is full ofsport, from start to finish.
The Liverpool Courier.—The Author has never told an intensely absorbingstory with more dramatic dire
