Reviews
"Originally published in a collection of word puzzles in 1930, this feels extremely ahead of its time in terms of experimental fiction. Part crossword puzzle, part murder mystery, this book puts you in the mindset of a detective that is just on the edge of solving the case." -- Peter Kulikowski, Changing Hands "If James Joyce and Agatha Christie had a literary love child, this would be it." -- Daily Telegraph "A unique hybrid of word puzzle and whodunnit." -- Literary Review
