„Perełka wśród thrillerów i powieści detektywistycznych! Autorka tak doskonale przedstawia rozwój psychologiczny bohaterów, że czujemy, jakbyśmy byli w stanie zajrzeć w ich umysły, poczuć ich strach i cieszyć się ich zwycięstwami. Nadzwyczaj inteligentnie skonstruowana intryga trzyma przez cały czas w napięciu.

This volumes includes 16 mystery stories, each connected—if sometimes tangentially—to Sir Henry Marquis, head...
