Arthur John Rees (1872–1942), was an Australian mystery writer. Born in Melbourne, he was for a short time on the staff of the Melbourne Age and later joined the staff of the New Zealand Herald. In his early twenties he went to England. His proficiency as a writer of crime-mystery stories is attested by Dorothy Sayers in the introduction to Great Short Stories of Detection, Mystery and Horror, 1928. Two of his stories were included in an American world-anthology of detective stories. Some of his works were translated into French and German.
The Merediths are a wealthy country family. The next heir to the family’s wealth and estates has chosen a modern London girl to be his bride, and his choice does not meet with approval... The free-thinking young woman causes friction in the family... until murder arrives in the house... a murder which it seems no-one could have committed... From the Golden Age of Detective Fiction comes a neatly plotted thriller in which atmosphere and mystery mix to produce a tight and satisfying tale.
