funny, not his best, but definitely worthwhile if you are a Michael Innes fan, or if you like literate, quasi-literary mysteries.

absolutely terrific book, well written, incisive and insightful, scathingly funny and yet sad

odd, stilted, not by any means my favorite James, and I am a Henry James fan. This does not hold a candle to Portrait of a Lady, Golden Bowl, The Ambassadors, Washington Square, What Maisie Knew -- the list goes on and on.

interesting, but not my favorite Carr -- I prefer the ones that are not historical, and have either Merrivale or Fell.

interesting at times, somewhat stilted; it's obvious that it's been put together by two writers, sort of like grafting a giraffe's head onto an elephant's body, but if you like both Ford and Conrad (and I do) worth persevering through.

All Vita is wonderful, and these are not exceptions

do you really need a review of what is one of Shakespeare's most haunting works, the only one for which a source has never been found, with the amazing "Deeper than ever plummet sounded, I drown my book" speech. A work of the greatest English playwright's maturity, reflexive on the act of creation.

If you have a bread machine, this is an excellent resource. I have found his recipes well written and reliable

another fabulous, literate Dawn Powell. Tersely written and elegant, it's also wickedly humorous.
