Harrumph (come direbbe Gideon Fell...).
Come tutte le classificazioni di questo genere, anche la lista di
Grobius Shortling - del quale amerei conoscere il vero nome - lascia
il tempo che trova. Alcuni suoi giudizi, non tanto nelle stellette
assegnate, quanto nei commenti posti in calce a ciascun titolo nella
sua pagina web, sono a mio avviso un po' troppo tirati per i capelli.
Secondo me il Carr migliore si trova in questi romanzi:
THE MAD HATTER MYSTERY (1933) 
THE THREE COFFINS (1935) 
THE ARABIAN NIGHTS MURDER (1936) 
THE CROOKED HINGE (1938) 
THE CASE OF THE CONSTANT SUICIDES (1941) 
TILL DEATH DO US PART (1944) 
HE WHO WHISPERS (1946) 
THE LOST GALLOWS (1931) 
POISON IN JEST (1932) 
THE BURNING COURT (1937) 
THE EMPEROR'S SNUFF BOX (1942)
THE MEN WHO EXPLAINED MIRACLES (1964)
THE DEVIL IN VELVET (1951)
FIRE, BURN! (1957) 
THE UNICORN MURDERS (1935)
THE JUDAS WINDOW (1938) 
DEATH IN FIVE BOXES (1938) 
THE READER IS WARNED (1939)
NINE--AND DEATH MAKES TEN (1940) 
SHE DIED A LADY (1943) 
THE CURSE OF THE BRONZE LAMP (1945) 
FEAR IS THE SAME (1956)
Opinione personale, ovvio.
