I really don't understand why her stuff is still in print, and is continually being made into movies and TV episodes, while people like Ellery Queen are forgotten. <br /><br />That said, "4:50 from Paddington" (aka "What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw") displays her skill not only at plotting, but at characterization -- something she is not known for. She had me *liking* the murderer in his/her early scenes, so that I was startled when the solution is revealed.Benzadmiralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16762681617545684805noreply@blogger.com
