Every person who likes intelligent puzzle mysteries should read his books. I would say this is one of the better. ( ) So this one left me feeling a little disappointed. The book was fairly short, which left little room for developing the character of Dr. Fell, our detective. I felt more connected to the lesser character of Mr. Rampole. I'm not sure if he'll be a recurring character or not, but I would lived to have seen more insight into the main character. Such a joy after recently (about a year and a half ago) discovering Dr. Gideon Fell to now read his first published adventure! This one is narrated by a young American who falls for an unconventional British beauty--evidently a stand-in for the author, with his obvious love of the countryside and customs of his adopted home. There are elements of the supernatural, hinging on a family "curse," as well as some of Carr's signature cerebral plotting. A hair-raising and fun read! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The Starberths die of broken necks' goes the legend in the village of Chatterham . . .' The Starberth family governed the now-abandoned Chatterham prison for many years, and each male heir must spend the night of his twenty-fifth birthday there, alone, overlooking the hanging site of Hag's Nook. Meanwhile, after a chance encounter on a railway platform, Dorothy Starberth and young American graduate Tad Rampole fall in love. Rampole is here in rural Lincolnshire to see Gideon Fell. The following day, Dorothy's brother is found dead of a broken neck, just as his father and grandfather before him. Ingeniously plotted and packed with atmosphere, Hag's Nook will not disappoint mystery lovers. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
