5.0 out of 5 stars
well plotted mystery,
By Joyce Hettich "Puzzle Enthusiast" (Ridgewood, NY United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Close Quarters (Rue Morgue Classic British Mysteries) (Paperback)
This book is expertly plotted, interesting and well written. Gilbert creates characters that live and breathe. Quite enjoyable and paced for his time, meaning it is not a blow things up and edge of your chair drama, but a well pace, carefully built up story that can be savored.

Too "Close" for Comfort!,
By Ms.Mystery (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Close Quarters (Rue Morgue Classic British Mysteries) (Paperback)
Rue Morgue Press is reprinting some very good books from the past. I consider this mystery to be one of them. Like most books that deal with all the inhabitants of a particular 'closed' area, it is a bit intimidating to get your bearings as far as being introduced to all the characters. Fortunately, there is a listing at the beginning to which you can refer until you get them straight.It is the kind of book that one wishes for a couple of cold rainy days and a warm fire with which to enjoy the story. It concerns the canons in a rather small, somewhat cloistered settings and begs a memory of the saying, "Familiarity breeds contempt"...at least with some. An intelligent book that sometimes reminded me, in a general way, of Gaudy Night....but with men. Am going to order another of the author's books, as he weaves a great tale. |
