One of the most exciting mystery writers to appear on the American paperback scene. The New York Herald Tribune said, " An odd, engaging narritive with plenty of starts and flourishes, surprises and a diverting conclusion. One of the year's more uncommon and fetching books. While the nNew York times quote, "Succeeds admirably in making an unconventional cast of characters come to life." "Another well-wrought English myster, Grade A" says Brett Hallide. Note: some yellowing on the outside spine.
