4.0 out of 5 stars A Definite Period Piece, July 21, 2003

This review is from: The Oakdale Affair (Paperback)

A mystery/adventure novel that I found reminiscent of the work of Agatha Christi. I would call this a definite departure from the usual ERB fare in some ways, and in others more of the same. The style is much like everything else Burroughs wrote, however, rather than the exotic locales of Mars, Venus or the African jungle we are treated to a story from the American heartland.

Bridge from the Mucker returns, making this somewhat of a sequel or spin-off. The story is predictable, but still fun to read. This is a definite period piece, from the settings to the characters to the dialog. Burroughs even gives us a gypsy. This one is just fun to read.
