pickYou have to like the writing style of Edgar Wallace which is very simple without any gloss-overs. I especially like his crime novels because tgey are that dry. This one follows episodically the life of master criminal Arthur Milton who purges the crimes of others by doing the work of Scotland Yard.
😂😂 I must go in quest of people named Wickham. In the meantime, who‘d like to take a turn about the room?

Oh, George ... bring me back to my angsty college years. 🤣
Harry was defensive about some of the methods he had used to get his stories. At one point, he turned on the reader, who he imagined censuring him for how he had obtained the Christie exclusive: 'Sit down there, you, that man in the back row, he admonished. 'I'll have no hypocritical comment! How many murderers' stories have you read, sir, in the Sunday papers? If you've never read one, then I'll listen to you. If you have read one, then shut up!
so-soThe next book in the Agatha Raisin series.
Everytime I‘m here I have to buy at least 3 I‘m planning to collect the whole catalogue 🥰🥰 I adore Dorothy whipple can‘t wait to read this one and if you‘ve never read her you really must ! 😍😍
pickFrom my #14Books14Weeks stack, I picked this up after loving Ducks, Newburyport. The same writing characteristics are here, too, and I can see the path from this book to that one. Lots of thinking about sex here 😆 but the writing is fabulous. I‘m not sure how I feel about the ending, but I definitely enjoyed it (Ducks still being my favorite 🦆).
