Title: Two locked room murders!
Review: Carr has long been known as the king of the locked room mystery, and in this book we get two actual locked-room mysteries. One appears to be a suiciide and one is a murder, but neither one is straight-forward. In true Carr fashion, he keeps us guessing until the very end. But thank goodness crime fighter extraordinaire Gideon Fell is on the scene and he finds his way through the maze. This book has Carr's trademark black humour as well, and kept me laughing all the way through. The antics when the characters get into the famous in "Doom of the Campbells" (which happens to be a particularly strong whiskey)are incredibly funny! I love the way Carr plotted his stories. His mysteries are highly intelligent, complex and he is the unrivalled master in his particular genre.
