The photography experiment sequence was a bravura piece of scientific detection. Way ahead of its time, I think. Though it's easy to figure out the culprit as the suspect pool diminishes (as I said in <a href="http://prettysinister.blogspot.com/2011/03/in-brief-sweepstakes-murders-j-j.html" rel="nofollow">my review on my blog</a>) it's still well worth reading. So glad you found a copy and enjoyed it. This should have been one of the reissued titles that Coachwhip Publications put out last year. Maybe they'll get around to it soon.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-21773729609603847772012-11-23T12:15:34.989+00:002012-11-23T12:15:34.989+00:00The London Library has no less than 14 of his nove...The London Library has no less than 14 of his novels, but not, unfortunately, this one.
