You never know, I will keep checking occasionally. I love the map and love the covers shown here.

It's truly the best plotted of his books I've read so far and utterly fascinating from start to finish. So much happens, and all those discoveries, and it keeps building in momentum like a snowball rolling down a hill then explodes in the exciting climax when the detectives find the very last house called St. Brelade and its secret that serves as the killer's motive.<br /><br />Good for you buying a present for yourself. I do exactly the same thing -- sometimes a bit indulgently!J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-62974146199375516602014-01-03T17:19:34.514-06:002014-01-03T17:19:34.514-06:00Clifford Witting was a great writer, very little k...Clifford Witting was a great writer, very little known, I would say undeservedly. <br />He created plots with textures by great charm and absolutely brainy problems solved with great intelligence.<br />In Italy were published two novels by Witting: Let X Be the Murderer and lastly In Italy just the novel you're talking about, Catt Out of the Bag: I bought it two weeks ago, as a Christmas present (I gave it to myself, since no one would give me).<br />Pietro De Palmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051060020493340331noreply@blogger.com
