This was a desire to compare current short mystery writing with what has been written forty or fifty years ago.  They are different, definitely.  However, I enjoyed this one as much as some of my current favourites.  There are evidently 16 books in this series (this is the first one I've read).  I get a kick out of the fact that at the time they were written they were presented as"high tech or techno" stories.  I'm reading along and when they are in a tight spot I'm thinking "why don't they just call someone to get them out of this fix?"  Then I realize, well...duh.  No cell phones.  It got me to thinking about what suspense stories were like back in the 50's and 60's.  This book was fun, considering the fact it was written in a time period that many of us never knew, or remember.  Broaden your horizons!  Read one of these vintage mysteries sometime.
