'As a writer of thrillers Arthur Gask is preeminent. Foremost critics of the great national and provincial press have unanimously praised his many books: H. G. Wells confessed to reading him in the small hours. His Gilbert Larose is outstanding amongst memorable characters in mystery fiction as such novels as 'The Tragedy of the Silver Moon' and 'The House on the Fens' clearly demonstrate.

''The Beachy Head Murder' is true to form. It tells the absorbing story of a crime perpetrated and atoned for, and of the later sequel in which the all but perfect murder was committed. Larose, however, was not deceived. Gifted with a profound insight into human nature and possessed of astonishing powers of observation, he identified the murderer and, in the dramatic climax, dispensed his own brand of justice.'
