Damsel in distress
By Paul Roberge
I didn't care for this Louis Tracy novel. Like his other books, it's well written and paced, but not a detective story in the accepted sense. What is being investigated is a girl's mysterious past--of which she herself is unaware. Basically, it's the story of a fairy-tale damsel in distress. A working girl obviously of upper class birth is kept in isolation by her elderly "aunt" (shades of Rapunzel). Along comes Prince Charming, a New York playboy named Rex, to rescue her and discover her secret past.
No doubt, in the end, boy gets girl, but I stopped reading halfway through the melodrama (lest I come to a scene where the heroine is lashed to a railroad track). A shame because I liked other novels that Tracy wrote.
Tracy is a British writer (1863 - 1928) but this novel takes place in New York. My rating of 2 expresses my own reaction to the book. Tracy was a popular and prolific writer in his time, and other readers with sensibilities different from mine may well enjoy the novel more than I did.

Not Disappointed
By Nojoqui
After reading the previous review written about The Bartlett Mystery, I hesitated in having any desire to read this book. Having just finished it, I can say that I'm certainly glad I took a chance on it.
I've read a lot of stories by Louis Tracy, but this is the first I've read by him that takes place in New York.
Not being sure if Tracy ever traveled there, I was surprised by the geographical accuracy presented.
Would I call Rex, an important character in the book, a "playboy"? If anything, I'd say that his mother is the one who played the role of making ill use of a family inheritance. As the book continues, and the plot fully develops, I find it a pity that the previous review didn't give the book a chance. Things change rapidly after
an initial presentation of the main characters. Other people enter into the rapidly arising conflict that was much more than the rescuing of a "damsel in distress". Anything from a crooked politician to a desperate vagabond. However, my two favorite characters where the two police officers, Steingall and Clancy. You might call them the American versions of Winter and Furneaux. The latter two play a prominent part in a few other books by Tracy that take place in England. As for these duos, they are both as different as day is to night. Yet, they work together like bacon and eggs. One is a little fat, and the other is a little scrambled. That should be enough to satisfy any readers literary appetite.
Finally, one of many quotes I saved from the book that thoroughly entertained me. Tracy at his acme of humor and excitement.
"Voles urged on the car by foot and finger. After him pelted Petch, with set teeth and straining eyes. The
magnificent car, superb in its energies, swept through the night like a fiery dragon of song and fable,
but with a speed never attained by dragon yet, else there would be room on earth for nothing save dragons.
And the motor-cycle leaped and bounded close behind, stuttering its resolve to conquer the monster in front".
Just one of many reasons why I enjoy Louis Tracy's books. I'd say The Bartlett Mystery is one of his best.

Prissy, but Original
By Amazon Customer
*The Bartlett Mystery* is a police procedural inhabited mainly by characters out of F. Scott Fitzgerald, with a few out of O. Henry. They all belong to a rigid class system which works like this: The Upper Class has money. Their women wake up at noon, after having spent all night gossiping nastily about each other. The women of the Middle Class are secretaries or work in dress shops. The women of the Lower Class do "manual labor". They are coarse and vulgar, but it's not their fault.
Tracy's language is often prissy.
In spite of these faults, I liked the book. The plot and the characters are original, and I prefer prissiness to the graphic but stereotyped sex scenes of modern mysteries, which often give the impression of having been written by artificial intelligence software of 1960s vintage.
