Title: Definitely Not One of Dickson's Best
Review: Ordinarily I am a great fan of Carter Dickson (John Dickson Carr)books. Most are among the best mysteries ever written. I don't know what happened with this one. It is extremely confusing-so many differentaspects of murders going on that it is frankly hard to keep trackof what IS going on. Plus every other of Dickson/Carr's books withSir Henry Merrivale of the foreign office are most interesting andfun to read. Normally when I see H. M.'s name on front of book, I donteven have to read a review of the book to get it. By the time Ifinished with this book and it seemed to take forever and I knew whowas behind all the skulldugery, I simply didnt care. I have read alot ofDickson/Carr's books and so far finding only one I didnt like not toobad.
Is the review positive or negative?
