I always rejoice when I get the chance to read a classic mystery. The Tangled Miracle by Canadian author Bertram Brooker was originally published in 1936 under the pseudonym Huxley Herne, and has recently been re-released by indie publisher Invisible Publishing which has a Throwback Series that re-introduces public-domain books. A locked room mystery of sorts, this book touches upon some very timely themes including fake news and the power and persuasion of money. My booktube videos always seem to be the most popular when I review classic novels, so I’ve got my fingers crossed that the video review below will be helpful for some people. And sorry about the cat hacking away in the background – Makita has sinus problems so she’s always in the midst of a sneezing attack – plus it’s allergy season.
Book Review: The Tangled Miracle by Bertram Brooker
I enjoyed the cat coughing! They’re always such a help when we’re trying to concentrate on something, aren’t they? 😉 The book sounds like fun – I’ll keep an eye out for it turning up on Kindle over here, hopefully soon!
I thought of you FF when I read this one, it’s in the public domain now so should be pretty easy to find
OMG, I laughed like I’d had too much to drink when you said, “…because he’s a trickly little man.” This book does sound fun, and I always forget there was a time period during which a lot of famous folks I know of were SERIOUS about the occult. I mean, it’s so frickin’ spooky and awesome.
It is sort of awesome, I totally know what you mean.
OMG, I wrote “trickly.” He’s not slowly peeing himself. I definitely meant “tricky.” 🤣
I knew what you meant it’s all good haha
