Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). 204 pages. 320 grams. This book is in very good unmarked condition. The dust jacket is in very good condition. Dust jacket condition preserved within new protective clear plastic non-adhesive removable covering. 'Another Creasey cornucopia of crime; another grand collection of thrills and shudders; and once again the masters - P.D. James, Antonia Fraser, Michael Gilbert, Celia Fremlin, H.R.F. Keating, Joan Aiken, Julian Symons - give their colleagues a run for their money. P.D. James offers a beautifully crafted investigation of a sixty-year-old murder. Michael Gilbert provides a skilfully plotted account of an IRA attempt to blow up a High Court judge in his own court. Celia Fremlin is in her familiar twilight zone of young delinquents and social workers, and her denouement is unusually ruthless. H.R.F. Keating's is a kind of shaggy dog story, in which harrassed Inspector Ghote roams the city, to avoid a noted British author and to find an elusive witness. Joan Aiken traps a boy in a bizarre house with a crazed old woman. Julian Symons's tale of a marriage running down has a superbly ambiguous conclusion. And Antonia Fraser updates Little Red Riding-Hood. Peter Lovesey has hit upon an ingeniously different way of telling his story: as a succession of answers to a correspondent in an agony column, which reveal a complex tale of murder. And so has Celia Dale: the non-stop flow of conversation during a business lunch also reveals the details of a murder. In Herbert Harris's story, a policeman's wife very cleverly alerts her husband on the phone to the fact that she and their child are being held hostage. And in Tony Wilmot's story a hit-and-run driver makes the mistake of his life when he believes that his victim's daughter is catching up with him. In fact, the collection offers splendid variety; tales of all kinds, for all moods and is one of the best, so far.' "Great Aunt Allie's Flypapers" by P.D.
