Title: Not his best plot by a long shot!
Review: The Moving Toyshop has been enshrined as Crispin's best detective novel, but it is not, in my opinion. The people who admire this book talk about the humor, but rarely about the plot. Yet Crispin, when he disciplined himself, had a first-class mind for puzzles. Unless you really enjoy English donnish humor, with lots of literary quotations, of course, I would advise you to avoid this one and seek out The Long Divorce or Love Lies Bleeding.
