Of Carolyn Wells's detective stories we have read better ones, but in the working out the plot in her latest venture, it appears to be more closely akin to those mystery plays which at present occupy a place so prominent upon the contemporary stage. Spooky Hollow in no way deviates from the path already trodden smooth by Émile Gaboriau and Anna Katharine Green. It is ghastly enough to satisfy the reader fond of supping full on horrors. Its plot is ingenious and exceedingly well worked out. Your critic takes credit for having chosen the real murderer from the first, but nonetheless, and in its own right, Spooky Hollow is a brilliant piece of work. --The Unitarian Register, Volume 10
