A review by annarella
Castle Skull by J.D. Carpenter, John Dickson Carr

5.0

Everything in this book is over the top and exaggerated and this made this story a lot of fun to read.
This mix of gothic and Golden Age mystery already features some of the tropes of the more mature John Dickinson Carr I used to read but I enjoyed every moment of it.
The cast of characters is interesting and well thought, the setting is amazing and reminded me of gothic novels, the mystery is full of twists and turns and the solution came as a surprise.
It was an entertaining and engrossing read, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
