I'm looking forward to getting hold of <em>The Mystery of Tunnel 51</em>.<br /><br />Here's my take on <em>The Devil's Cocktail</em> -<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/qgb57jadfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-35398060122701202772015-06-08T22:09:25.098+01:002015-06-08T22:09:25.098+01:00Lynn, agreed about the sincerest form of flattery....Lynn, agreed about the sincerest form of flattery.

I haven't heard of Wilson but he sounds intriguing. The similarity in the A&B covers is surely just the highest form of flattery?! I finished reading Golden Age at the weekend & have just reviewed it on my blog. I enjoyed it very much &, like most of the reviewers I've read, it's resulted in an increase in my tbr pile.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-11338441965581229192015-06-08T20:31:35.637+01:002015-06-08T20:31:35.637+01:00I love Crispin's books.

Even within such a small output he managed to vary his style enormously. They're all funny, but farce and wit predominate in different novels. It's such a shame that there are only 11 books. When I read the title of your post I thought for a split second that a unpublished Crispin had been found. Oh well.....<br /><br />GaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-75368746769597503092015-06-08T19:36:06.687+01:002015-06-08T19:36:06.687+01:00I must thank you for reminding me of a title that ...I must thank you for reminding me of a title that I have wanted to read but have been unable to find: The Moving Toyshop.
