I'd actually give it 2 stars but it was free from Amazon's Classic book collection and anything free is extra good. :) ( ) Pretty good whodunit but... the lengthy expositions on guns and their features really slowed the pace at times. I suppose if I were a gun collector (I'm not) and had some clue about the various features of guns (I don't) then it might have been more interesting. Instead, I found myself skimming those parts. Had Piper stuck with the story/mystery, this would likely have been a 3.5 star read for me. Oh, and everyone has a 'gun room' in their house? Really? Even for the time it was written, this seems like a rather dated concept. The mystery is all right, the details of historical guns worked in with not too much enthusiasm, and there's probably a great roman a clef in the science-fiction-and-antiques couple. What stuck in my mind was the hero's secret semantic science. I haven't looked up if it actually existed, but it sounds a lot like ever so many systems since, all beloved of a subset of nerds. It introduces itself as a method of not deceiving oneself and turns up later, sullen, as a tool for deceiving others. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
