| | Golden Age Mysteries - The 10 worst mysteries of all time |
| | In a sense, Chesterton did beat Bentley by about two years in suggesting the fallibility of the detective, but these were in fantastic tales suggestive of parables and not really comparable to the naturalistic full-length novel created by Bentley. | | | That's the thing about making up a list of the *Ten Worst* -- because we tend to read mysteries by authors who are, for good reason, well known, or more obscure ones on the recommendations of friends, I think we manage to sidestep, for the most part, the very worst of the worst. | | | To paraphrase Taylor and Barzun, the majority of the characters in turn of the century mystery novels were not even cardboard; they were plywood. |
