If there is one author whose books need to be widely available, it is Gilbert
Unquestionably a most intelligent author. Gifts of ingenuity, style and character drawing
No author is more skilled at making a good story seem brilliant
Anthony Gilbert shared with other successful crime writers a combination of writing talent and clever plotting skills necessary to make it in detective fiction's Golden Age ... Along with Agatha Christie [he] had a talent to deceive
Ingenious plot leavened with sly humour
Fast, light, likeable
Anthony Gilbert's novels show the unsensational type of detective story at its best
