A frustratingly disappointing piece of #CrimeFiction the second in Bruce Graeme's Theodore Terhune series, reissued by @moonstone_press

A review of House with Crooked Walls by Bruce Graeme In writing these book reviews I try to find something good to say about even those books which try my patience to the extreme, but House with Crooked Walls, the second of Bruce Graeme’s Theodore Terhune series, originally published in 1942 and reissued by Moonstone Press, presents an almost insurmountable challenge. It is one of those books…
