Mystery and Crime Farnol, Jeffery: The Quest of Youth, LIT v1, 12 September 2009

Jeffery Farnol (1878–1952)
The Quest of Youth: A Story of the Open Road (1927)

I’m not sure whether to categorise this as a Regency romance or a mystery. Project Gutenberg Canada (the source for this upload) says it is, “A romance intertwined with a murder mystery. Set in London at about the same time as The Loring Mystery, it features Mr. Shrig, the detective from the earlier novel.”

A summary from Violet Books:
Adventures on the woods & highroads of old Sussex, of a world-weary man successfully recapturing some of the wonder & glory he experienced when young, & falling for a Quaker maiden. The Sussex woods & roads convey all the charm of his best work. Regency era detective Jasper Shrig puts in an appearance, too.
