I found <i>Diabolic Candelabra</i> earlier this year, but have yet to read it. Was thinking about Punchon as a possible FFB just this past Wednesday. Synchronicity again.<br /><br />I purchased an American mystery that has several crossword puzzles in it and after I photocopied the puzzles to solve (none of them had been touched!) I placed the book in a box and forgot about it until today. It's called THE LONG GREEN GAZE by Vincent Fuller. He never wrote another mystery. It's not supposed to be brilliant by any means. I'll try to get to it by the end of the summer...if I can find it again. All these boxes!

This is one I actually wasn't familiar with; I'm glad you found things to like about it even if you found the whole wasn't greater than the sum of the parts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
