Detective Pinkerton and Mr. Lincoln

by William Wise, copyright 1964, with 64 pages
nice pen and ink illustrations by Hoot von Zitzewitzt. He did a lot of cover art for sci-fi books, but the illustrations did little to add to the drama of this story.

Suitable for ages 9 and up.
To me the book was short on excitement. The story was told fairly well, it just lacked the tension and the drama. You know it's a dangerous situation, but you don't feel it. The involvement of Timothy Webster and Kate Warne could have been been developed better. It's a suspense story without the suspense.

Other than that, it was OK.

William Wise wrote several books for children, fiction and non-fiction.
