5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant intriguing and humorous mystery,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hopjoy Was Here (Paperback)
The many twists in the plot mix with brilliantly drawn characters and understated and iconoclastic English humour. Watson takes you into an eccentric world and plot yet is always convincing, readable and entertaining. This is an outstanding book which deserves to be republished.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a classic whodunit...,
By Judy Smith "judylynnsbooks" (jamestown, ky United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Hopjoy Was Here (Paperback)
Something must have happened at number 14 Beatrice Avenue. Four policemen were maneuvering a bathtub out the front door and Detective Inspector Purbright was fishing about in the pipes. But was this a question of murder? An anonymous letter from a back-bedroom vigilante had darkly hinted at foul deeds in that quiet house. Both the owner, Gordon Periam, and his boarder, Brian Hopjoy, were missing. Inspector Purbright had found no corpus delicti...just a suspicious spill of acid and a nasty notion. Had a very clever killer poured his victim down the drain?
