So I would, at least, tackle one or two books before immersing yourself in this one. <br /><br />Please, drink all the wine you have when reading my blog.

Why this didn’t earn him ever-lasting fame within the genre is baffling, but not something that can't be fixed.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-10952925279468052512012-01-03T04:34:20.597+01:002012-01-03T04:34:20.597+01:00I did read the 'The Dead Room' a long time...I did read the 'The Dead Room' a long time back and I was impressed by the locked room element in that book.

Found a couple of Resnicow's (Gold Frame and Gold Gamble) and they're heading my way now...<br /><br />I am curious as to the quality of these later "collaborations" with people like Pele, but I'm sure you'll let us know soon...Puzzle Doctorhttp://classicmystery.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
