The Crimson Blind

One of the most ingeniously conceived detective stories in some time. Each chapter holds some new and separate excitement. The pace is kept with such vigour that the reader arrives breathless at the last page. (MANYBOOKS) David Steel followed his guide with the feelings of the man who has given himself over to circumstances. There was a savour of nightmare about the whole thing that appealed distinctly to his imagination. The darkness, the strange situation, the vivid streaks of the crimson blinds--the crimson blind that seemed an integral part of the mystery--all served to stimulate him. The tragic note was deepened by the whine and howling of the dogs. A great mystery story and detective story for nook.
