"The Judas Window" is one of the best books Carr ever wrote; H.M. is a bit more restrained there, but it's a brilliant locked room situation. I'm also fond of the very first H.M. novel, "The Plague Court Murders," where Carr manages to create a really terrifying atmosphere. Oh, and "Nine...and Death Makes Ten" puts H.M. on board a ship (sounds like your wish-come-true regarding "The Blind Barber"!)and has a really ingenious "impossible crime" solution. So many choices...sigh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-91269146387521547492013-02-08T00:01:51.993-05:002013-02-08T00:01:51.993-05:00Sounds fun.Sounds fun.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-20246817634287427782013-02-06T11:43:09.810-05:002013-02-06T11:43:09.810-05:00I like Merrivale a lot more than Dr. Fell even if ...I like Merrivale a lot more than Dr. Fell even if the Dr. Fell books tend to be more ingeniously plotted. HE WOULDN'T KILL PATIENCE, SHE DIED A LADY, THE UNICORN MURDERS, THE PUNCH & JUDY MURDERS, all great mysteries and very funny especially that last one which is the closest Carr ever came to emulating the insanity of Harry Stephen Keeler.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-13431595685508393812013-02-05T19:41:15.926-05:002013-02-05T19:41:15.926-05:00Sounds really good!
