It definitely evokes a Carrian atmosphere, but the solution suffered from the same problem often found in stories dealing with vanished streets, disappearing houses and lost rooms – the range of possible solutions are very limited. <br /><br />Someone who knows his detective stuff will no problem figuring out the solution before the end of the book. The story does work a bit better in short story form, but it's not as creepy as the novel. <br /><br />If you want to see McCloy tackle a more, uhm, traditional locked room I suggest you hunt down a copy of <i><a href="http://moonlight-detective.blogspot.nl/2011/06/inhospitable-guest-room.html" rel="nofollow">Mr. Splitfoot</a></i>, which I rank among my favorite impossible crime novels. <br /><br />Don't worry about the awful review. I write them all the time and people still read them.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.com
