| Deep Quarry |
... breathes new life into the essential components of the murder mystery -- wisecracking detectives ... classy dames, corpses ... by setting his novels in science fictional environments. The SF is not mere window dressing, but an essential story element. ... Deep Quarry should appeal to both mystery and SF fans. ... Stith's earlier novels [list] may be hard to find, but are well worth the effort. |
