Tipping My Fedora 
Hi Sergio. In my quest to add to my John Dickson Carr books I have seen a copy of The Seat of the Scornful. Whats your opinion of this novel? I noticed it wasn’t in the top ten. Thanks.
Hi Steve – it is in the middle range in terms of the plot, which is very good. The ending is highly controversial for the way it concludes, much like CROOKED HINGE… Trying not spoil things …
Thanks Sergio. I really enjoyed The Hollow Man and vowed to get a few other Carr but they are not the easiest books to find. I think I will treat myself to Seat of the Scornful and keep looking for other titles.
Basically, I think, any of his books up to about 1946 is better than almost anybody else’s. BLIND BARBER people tend not to like for its odd mixture of humour and chills, but that’s pretty much It! Enjoy 😀
