I think you've started with the top of the pile there me old
china, Suarez is indeed more shocking, but I don't think it
works as well - I think old Derek/Robin got a bit lost in the
shock, the villain is also almost too monstrous to believe
in. The Devil is Home on Leave is excellent, and I am off to
the library tomorrow to have another trawl through, He Died
Standing Up. If anyone has a copy of How the Dead Live they
want to send me I'd be most grateful - I borrowed a copy a
few years ago but have never owned my own. I'm glad Raymond
is finding favour - SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REPRINT
HIM!
