Not his best, not his worst
20 July 2002
Format:Paperback
When in 1996 Foul Play press re-released Stronghold and House Of Cards, they planned on re-releasing all the other books a little at a time. I guess they scraped that idea. I have been waiting since, and no new books.
So, Stronghold, should you buy it? Read it? Absolutely, it's grand. Not his best, and why this should be re-released with House of Cards still baffles me. Other Ellin books like The Dark Fantastic, Very Old Money, or even the Bind or Mirror Mirror on the wall would be better suited to try to grab a new generation of readers.
But lets face it. No other mystery writer, with the exception of Agatha Christie , and maybe Ellery Queen, could write as well as Mr. Ellin, just well crafted, strong, mesmerizing novels. Its a shame more of his books arent avaliable today. He's hard to beat.
