A D.A. I can't tell you much, for fear of spoiling your surprise, but if you like British mystery stories of this vintage with superhero detectives, set in high places, this is a particularly good one.

Philip MacDonald (who some give as 1896 or 1899 as his date of birth) was the grandson of the writer Philip MacDonald (who some give as 1896 or 1899 as his date of birth) was the grandson of the writer Found this intriguing book at St Vincent de Paul store.

It's definitely a stand-alone mystery.What a great novel!

And I was not disappointed from my first impressions, which had been excellent.What a great novel! Messenger has left a mysterious list of 10 men.When I checked up on this book before I started it, I found that it is the eleventh in the series, but you can definitely forego reading all previous ten to get to this one. "The List of Adrian Messenger" is a classic of its era, set just post WWII, austerity still very evident.

And I was not disappointed from my first impressions, which had been excellent.Having first seen this movie in 1963, I read a Penguin edition of the book at the time but spotting in a bookshop the other day, I decided the time was right for a re-read. Andrian's list somehow lead to this facesless killer who was ready to commit his final deed.On the top 100 best mysteries, and deserves this listing.This book is in my top ten "All-time Best".

The back cover contains the word "YOU" in gigantic font, followed by "will not stop reading until at last you reach the satisfying solution of one of the most unbelievable shocking mysteries ever told."

It is not. During the Cold War a Naval Intelligence officer endowed with a powerful photographic memory is transferred to the CIA to participate in a covert operation in Moscow.

"The List of Adrian Messenger" is a classic of its era, set just post WWII, austerity still very evident. Not perfect, but definately enjoyable."

The intellect of the prose moves the suspense right along.

However, when they met, Firth sensed that all was not well. Anthony Gethryn (MacDonald's detective) is on the case. Excellent acting (especially Douglas in what must be his best role since Paths of Glory), superb music (Jerry Goldsmith) and brilliant direction of John Huston more than make up for occasional lapses in the story.Looking for something to watch?

I'll look for more Gethryn mysteries.I really enjoyed its complicated plot and all its characters, especially Anthony Gethryn.

This was made into a movie back in the 1960s, but I suspect it wasn't as good as the book.

Certificate: GP It's an engrosing and clever whodunnit which also prefigures the contemporary serial killer novel... although the fact that his antagonist is killing for monetary gain, rather than kicks, is a very refreshing change (if I can put it like that!).
