Payment Deferred

Rating:
Summary: A Mystery by C. S. Forester?!?
Review: C. S. Forester was one of the greatest storytellers of the 20th Century. His Horatio Hornblower novels are the best works in their genre. All of the Forester novels are easy to read and well crafted. Unfortunately, the time Forester spent writing Payment Deferred would have been better spent on another Hornblower novel. This is a mediocre work by a great author. It is only of interest to those of us who want to read everything written by C. S. Forester.

Summary: Payment Deferred - Forester's first published novel
Review: Payment deferred is a superbly written crime novel. The main charachter is well developed and the dark plot leads to the excellent final twist. Truely a milestone in crime fiction this book was unfortunatly overshadowed by Agatha Christie's 'Murder of Roger Ackroyd ' published the same year. In my opinion this book is second only to ' The general ' as forester's best work and shows that Hornblower is only a small part of the man's literary achievments.
