6/20/2023 0 Comments Jezebel by Koko BrownA really well-constructed and absorbing mystery. The Seat Of The Scornful by John Dickson CarrĪ somewhat atypical Gideon Fell mystery that is probably one that I most enjoyed when re-reading it and not expecting a locked room or impossibility. You’ll be pleased to know that this version does, and I’m really looking forward to revisiting this next month – and taking my time, this time. But I wasn’t reading it under the best conditions and the version in the library didn’t have the plan of the scene of the crime in it. I enjoyed this and can see why it’s a classic, but came away with a mild disappointment that it wasn’t – quite – the best thing ever. I don’t think trying to read three books in one day is that smart an idea – you don’t get the chance to sit back and think about a mystery if you’re trying to make sure you reach certain points by certain times.
