Laddar... Murder by the Book (1951)av Rex Stout
![]() Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. ![]() ![]() Solid and rather subtle mystery, involving a series of murders tied to a mysterious, unpublished manuscript. Stout plays fair, by very clearly showing the fatal flaw in the killer's plan; it takes sharp eyes and reasoning (which I didn't have) to make the connection and show what something purports to be, is not. It is slow in the middle, with an over-extended party sequence, but there's much to like otherwise. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
