I fully expect <i>The Twelve Crimes of Hercules</i> to rank right alongside <i>The Seven Wonders of Crime</i> (i.e. not one of Halter's top titles), but the idea of half a dozen, mythological-themed impossible murders fascinates me. What can I say? I'm a locked room fanboy. <br /><br />Well, I just have to be patient for another year or two, three... Pugmire will get around to them eventually.

I only really disliked <i>The Lord of Misrule</i> and <i>The Vampire Tree</i>. <br /><br />And if there's one complaint I have about the Halter translations today, it's that Pugmire keeps dodging the titles I want to read the most (<i>Penelope's Web</i>, <i>The Traveller from the Past</i>, <i>The Twelve Crimes of Hercules</i> and <i>The One-Eyed Tiger</i>). Still looking forward to <i>The Golden Watch</i>.

And it seems we get a brand new novel from him in 2019, so you've come to the party just in time!JJ @ The Invisible Eventhttps://theinvisibleevent.comnoreply@blogger.com
