Recensione
Bude's characterisation was a little sharper than many other genre novelists of the time. Combined witha light tone and an abundance of charm, this novel, in which an enthusiastic amateur beats the police at their own game in a rural English pre-war setting, is sheer comfort food for the crime fan. --The Herald
Apart from the mystery of who did what, when and how, the appeal of the story is in the faithful portrayal of Cornwall before the onset of mass tourism. And while reading of the hunt for clues along the cliff paths, we enjoy an intoxicating breath of sea air. --Daily Mail
L'autore
John Bude was the pseudonym of Ernest Elmore (190157), who wrote thirty crime novels, all of which are now very rare. He was cofounder of the Crime Writers’ Association and worked in the theater as a producer and director.
