5.0 out of 5 stars
A superb collection of stories about one of Edward D. Hoch's detectives.,
By
This review is from: Leopold's Way: Detective Stories of Edward D. Hoch (Mystery Makers) (Hardcover)
This volume collects a generous amount of stories about Captain Leopold, one of the many detectives created by the great Edward D. Hoch, the king of the detective short story. The Captain Leopold stories may be thought of, in a way, as Hoch's police procedurals. But, as is usual with Hoch, the stories are in the best classical detective story mold, and more than one of these is an impossible crime. And Francis Nevins provides his usually instructive and entertaining introduction. You will not be dissapointed with this volume.
It is a pity that a volume such as this is out of print. Also, that no additional collection of Leopold stories has been published, although there may be hope of this. Perhaps Douglas Greene and his Crippen & Landru, or Five Star will fill the void. |
