The Mad Hatter Mystery by John Dickson Carr

3.0

Though I've read and enjoyed several of Carr's short stories, this was my first foray into one of his Golden Age novels featuring Dr. Gideon Fell. Plotting and Tower of London setting are the strengths in this one. Fell is an entertaining and memorable character with the "larger than life" qualities of his real life model G.K. Chesterton. Kudos to Otto Penzler and the American Mystery Classics team for another well done reissue from the Golden Age of mystery!
