3.0 out of 5 stars The Mind Readers, 26 April 2008
This review is from: Mind Readers (Paperback)
Enjoyable Allingham mystery, an improvement on the last. The ending is slightly disappointing as a lot of interesting plot ideas, such as the experiments carried out on the island, seem to end up going nowhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Allingham Mystery, 4 May 2008
This review is from: Mind Readers (Paperback)
This is at times quite a confusing story with a number of story lines not really going anywhere and too many red herring characters. However, it is interesting in the sense that it evokes a much simpler naive age when science was seen as the key to the future. A good read with limited suspense but perhaps only for hardened Allingham fans.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mindless Opacity, 23 Sep 2003
One of Allingham’s few (mercifully few) outstanding failures. The plot is a mess, with a lot of needless complications (all recounted in Allingham’s obscure manner that makes Gladys Mitchell look sober and straightforward) failing to disguise the fact that there is no actual plot to speak of. The murderer is known very early on, revealed and killed some chapters before the end, which is an anti-climax rivalled only by the behaviour of Albert Campion.
