A quick locked room mystery that was quite aware of its place in the genre. 

I enjoyed the no-nonsense narrative style and the footnotes at the reveal, but I lacked the knowledge of stage magic to solve it myself. 

Psychiatrists of that era always make me vaguely uncomfortable with their of-the-era practices.
