going to kiptrix, a fellow bookcrosser

This book arrived in the mail today as part of an exchange with Quinnsmom. I'm really looking forward to finally reading an Albert Campion mystery. Thank you! Will eventually re-release.

5/03 I love English mysteries, and this was a good one.

Released on Wednesday, May 07, 2003 at ALREADY BEEN BOOKCROSSED BOOKBOX in Bookcrossing Book exchange, Book Exchange USA.

This Bookbox is being mailed to Georgia this afternoon.

I chose this from the bookbox. I am looking forward to reading it.

The book was okay, but I kept feeling like I was missing too much by being an American reader. I certainly understood the plot of the book, but during a lot of the characters' conversations I didn't really understand what they meant. I've read a lot of other English mysteries without this being a problem - just a phrase every once in a while that's different from the American way of speaking. For some reason, though, there was a lot in this book that went past me. I guess maybe it's a combination of the author's style of writing, the period in which it was written, and my being American rather than English.

I'm putting this in the mystery bookbox.

Released on Wednesday, May 05, 2004 at MBB2 in Mystery Book Box 2, postal release USA.

Just received this today, thanks!

I really enjoyed this extremely British mystery. It's got a fairly ludicrous plot, but it manages to be both hilarious and exciting. Now that I've read almost all of Dorothy Sayers' novels, I may have to hunt down more tales of this amiably stupid-looking, yet brilliant Albert Campion.
