MOUNTAIN MURDER WELL SPICED
'TTHERE’S nothing I like better than a shocker after my own taste-a preposterous, bloody story with the preposterousness adequately concealed by a smooth style and a specious way of thinking, and the blood vivid enough to be convinecing but not disturbing. Into such category falls Newton Gale’s "Sinister Crag.’ In this instance, however, I am probably a little biased because "Sinister Crag" is a story with a mountaineering background and there is-to my mind, at least-no background better suited for really foolproof murder. If, by any chance, you are interested in climbing, buy" "Sinister Crag" for the climbing descriptions in,it alone. It is as light asa V.S. leader’s foot on a rotten
ledge, as exciting as an exposed pitch near the top, and as well thought out as a first ascent on basalt! Shocker lovers should add "Sinister Crag" to their library list, "Sinister Crag," by Newton Gale (Golloncz, London). Our copy from the publisher.
