Rodney Stone has been described as a gothic mystery and boxing novel. However, it is much more than that. It's also a coming-of-age story for both Rodney and his friend Boy Jim. The book is character-centric, with some memorable characters such as Rodney's uncle Sir Charles and Boy Jim's foster father Jack Harrison, the retired champion boxer.
