The Billiard Table Murders: A Gladys Babbington Morton Mystery

Rating:
Summary: Glen Baxter - extended mix
Review: Those familiar with Glen Baxter's work - _Boy's Own_-style cartoons with breathtakingly incongruous elements and captions - can probably guess what to expect here: a mock-earnest mystery, illustrated throughout in fine Baxter form, with much to offer the reader.

That said, it lacks the impact of his single-frame cartoons, and for some reason the entire thing is set in his favourite font which, while certainly atmospheric, isn't exactly readable (especially since it's ALL IN CAPS).

Baxter fans should definitely get this. Others should try _The Impending Gleam_ first.
