5.0 out of 5 stars
One of my favorite Edward Goreys,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Awdrey-Gore Legacy (Hardcover)
I found this book in the art gallery. I loved it from the begining. Then we went out for Chinese food. So, in my mind, those two things are conected. D.Awdrey-Gore is based on Agatha Christie, who I'm also a big fan of, so this this book is twice as great.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Hysterical parody of the mystery genre!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Awdrey-Gore Legacy (Hardcover)
This book is wonderful and funny - in Gorey's typically macabre style. This little picture book cleverly lampoons the cliches of the mystery genre - leaving any Christie or Sayers fan not only admiring the artwork but convulsed over the stories! My favourite part - one method of murder suggested - labelled "Inexplicable" - a handful of confetti! Think about it... this book is guarnteed to make you do that!

This review is from: The Awdrey-Gore Legacy (Hardcover)
amusing but too short, not really a mystery but an illusion of one. True Gorey in terms of drawings and content, but not a lot of book for the buck.
