I've been reading the series pretty much real-time and for over ten years, and with about 12~15 new stories a year, memories of most of the cases usually turn into a messy goo in my head. Even now you explictly mention the case, I can only vaguely remember that such a case happened, but I can't remember any of the detais ^_~Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-43191896469518931712015-06-16T18:14:23.926+02:002015-06-16T18:14:23.926+02:00He Wouldn't Kill Patience is certainly one of ...<i>He Wouldn't Kill Patience</i> is certainly one of the Carrs I've heard mentioned often, so I might take a look at that book soon.<br /><br />I have to admit, I was a bit confused as your opening for <i>No Coffin for the Corpse</i> was "it's one of the most entertaining and intriguing locked room mysteries I have read for some time – and if the solutions live up to their expectations, it's easily better than Death from a Top Hat." The second half was less positive :PHo-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-6128962099780317562015-06-16T12:31:09.500+02:002015-06-16T12:31:09.500+02:00I'm surprised you didn't mention that the ...I'm surprised you didn't mention that the solution for "From Another World" is exactly the same as one featured in a Detective Conan caseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-20089587925020248542015-06-16T08:38:55.403+02:002015-06-16T08:38:55.403+02:00In defense of "From Another World," it w...In defense of "From Another World," it was the first use of that type of explanation for a tape sealed room and the trick has been reused by others. Even Aoyama used it for one of his Conan stories! <br /><br />The tape sealed room was part of a challenge between Rawson and Carr to see who could come up with the best solution for the problem. You might find Carr's answer in <i>He Wouldn’t Kill Patience</i> interesting, because it offers a completely different explanation. <br /><br />And beware of <i><a href="http://www.jdcarr.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6833" rel="nofollow">No Coffin for the Corpse</a></i>! Not the best of locked room mysteries/detective novels. TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.com
