I have wanted to read Trent's Last Case, as it's mentioned in my fave murder mystery, "Death at the President's Lodging". Picked up a copy in the Oxfam book shop and am enjoying it greatly, although the old slash goggles are in operation again. The murdered man has a trophy wife (with a distinct touch of 'beard' about her) and has a large collection of beautiful shoes. Hm.

The author, BTW, invented the clerihew, his first one being:
Sir Humphry Davy
Abominated gravy.
He lived in the odium
Of having discovered sodium.

I also had a rather slashy interpretation of the ending, but I'll keep that for another day.

:)
