him, aims at the creation Of cumula-
tive suspense. He achieves this by
a method symbolized by his title.
In Scotch maze, says Mr.. Sandoz,
"' . hedged-in alleys describe a
series of rectangles, one inside the
other. - Most of the alleys are
dead ends. FOOLS traps. There is
only one route leading from the
gate to the center ." And the
structure Of the book Is strikingly
mazelike. The reader wanders from
one rectangle to another and rushes
hopefully up several alleys. only to
find they are dead ends. The sus-
pense mounts, then suddenly the
center is revealed and the mystery
solved.
The story is written simply and
lucidly. Its dramatic effectiveness
is enhanced by its being told in the
first person. 1t is narrative with no
real Characterization, the emphasis
is entirely on the unraveling of the
plot. There is a slightly old-fash-
ioned melodramatic cast to some OF
the prose: Despite his strange con-
duct, I knew him to be gentleman.
A somewhat too-frequent use of
rhetorical questions with a soap
opera flavor, is also noticeable: "A
death? Whose death? Had
hidden dynasty held the lords of
Craven at its mercy for 200 years?
The only baronet to defy the COM
mon law had been stricken through
his wife and child. Why?" In
general, however, the readers in
terest is sustained.
