i trudged through it. i realized i hated every single character, and i hated the more sympathetic ones even more for seeing pieces of myself in them. i threw the book across the room frequently, or started yelling at the characters (which is inappropriate to do in cafes, apparently) and it filled me with the same agita of watching an incredibly awkward scene in a film, where all i want to do is go crawl under a rock and hope the ickiness will go away when i return. but, everyone must read this book, if only for the same reason that if you smell something bad, you encourage the people around you to smell it too. you will even smell it again, to your surprise. you always always smell it twice. i'll read this book again. and then i'll read atlas shrugged. and then i'll read that one again too. i need to, if only masochistically, and only after spending a little time reading her actual philosophy. i am entirely enchanted by its demanding pursuit of happiness, but need to appreciate objectivism itself before getting frustrated with the epic monologues of the bombastic characters. ugh. i'm rather disenchanted right now, seeing Ayn Rand as being an odd combination of dogmatic and naive. it's also my mother's favorite book, which i still can't understand. read the book, if only to think a little more and to spur endless conversations with friends.

You know pretty much immediately that this is not going to be your average mystery story. A group of friends who meet regularly to discuss odd & diverse supernatural topics such as ghosts & ghost stories are interrupted by a strange man by the name of Pierre Fley who addresses himself to one of the group, a Dr. Charles Grimaud. The stranger discusses a story about three coffins and then tells Grimaud that either Fley or his brother would be calling upon him soon. It is not long afterwards that Grimaud is found dead in his study, on the top floor of the house, with the one door locked, the windows too high for an exit, and absolutely no footprints in the snow outside the house. But the kicker is that someone came to the door, was let in, addressed two of the people in the house, and was seen climbing the stairs and entering the study. So...how did it happen? Dr. Gideon Fell is called in, and his investigation makes for one of the best locked-room mysteries I've ever read. It starts off running and does not let up. Most excellent -- a fine challenge to my overtired brain in trying to figure out how the heck this was done. I will caution you, however, that if you are planning to read any of the following books, Fell, in a very fine discourse upon the subject of crimes in hermetically sealed rooms, tells how various authors plotted some more well-known locked room mysteries. The books are, along with some short stories that I won't mention here (and do read them first before reading this one or they will probably be a disappointment): Mystery of the Yellow Room, by Gaston Leroux Initials Only, by Anna Katherine Green The Forty Faces, by Thomas and Mary Hanshew The Chinese Orange Mystery, by Ellery Queen The Big Bow Mystery, by Israel Zangwill I think that fans of modern mystery novels may find Fell and his explanations a bit tedious in places, but if you like these old golden age of mystery classics, then this is probably among the best. Definitely not for cozy readers. Overall, quite ingenious, well written and well worth the sometimes slog through the five books before this one in the series. I would probably put this as a must-have for serious mystery readers.
