I sold a copy of the UK first edition with a splendid DJ to Bill Pronzini many years ago. A scna of the DJ is somewhere on my blog under the old "Jacket Required" feature I used to do every other Sunday. Ever since I've never seen another copy of that DJ nor a copy the UK edition without it for that matter. So I guess it was genuinely rare. Oh well... Anyway, I kept one copy of the US edition intending to read it one day. But a few years ago in one of the many reference books I pore over some enthusiastic critic included in a list of books which all share the same huge surprise ending and now the book is forever spoiled for me. So I haven't read it. Is it worth reading for all the "apparent impossibilities" even if I know the identity of the killer?<br /><br />If you enjoyed this book I highly recommend you find a copy of Markham's THE DEVIL DRIVES which has a nifty locked room problem that has since been copied by several modern writers. I think Markham was the first to come up with it.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-55272992554784474152016-01-05T18:14:48.424+00:002016-01-05T18:14:48.424+00:00That's useful to know, Ron.
