It's much older than the man I bought it from, so it must have had a lot of owners before him. Maze sounds entirely impossible to get across, unless the person is either an expert or very lucky - and the story is a lot of fun. Perhaps you can find it cheaper in a local shop?

I'll keep a look out for it - I would be interested to read the descriptions of the characters in the maze - that sounds to em like a very difficult thing to get across. What year was it written? It sounds like it comes from what is called the Golden Age of detective fiction, when writers like Christie and Allingham and Sayers were writing.
