Carter Dickson: The Best Writer Ever of Chiller MysteriesApril 14, 2007 Mary Ingram(Asheville, NC) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Carter Dickson, also known as John Dickson Carr wrote the best mysteries especially of locked rooms and totally unexplainable mysteries. His books (all of them I might add) are books you simply cannot put down once you begin a read. This book was published first in 1941. In my estimation mysteries that were written in the 1800's and early to mid 1900's were far, far superior to any mysteries written today and I think that also includes other fiction and non fiction.
