MYSTERY by Peter Straub

Finished Fr 2/12/16

I read three-quarters of FLOATING DRAGON (my paperback) and ordered the three novels of The Blue Rose Trilogy from the library (Koko, Throat, Mystery).

They are all well-written, but I found MYSTERY a little too over-wrought. I loved his style, but the 'mystery' was so convoluted and confusing that I didn't really know who did what to who. But, Tom Pasmore was one hell of a guy, and so was The Shadow, Lamont Von Heilitz.

This link to wikipedia is absolutely necessary!

I'm going to return the books to the library, and keep an eye out for Koko. I know that I have a copy of this somewhere.
