Mr. Marx's Secret

1. Read the first two chapters to establish the characters and the central mystery before deciding whether to read it all.
2. Use the e-reader's annotation feature to record clues about characters' identities and avoid confusion over period forms of address.
3. Read one or two chapters a day, then summarize in one sentence the mystery each chapter advances.
4. Do not look up every rare expression; prioritize keeping the plot coherent.
