A thrilling read & an excellent romantic mystery.

Got an average of 4-1/2 stars on Amazon with overwhelmingly positive reviews - that's why I'm surprised that another reviewer found this book a chore.

John Dickson Carr is a masterful storyteller from the 1920s and 30s. I knew his detective novels and, through Paperback Swap, I just recently discovered his science fiction. This novel uses time travel , one of the earliest that does, and even more surprising, time travel through supernatural means! A deal with the Devil makes it possible for a mild mannered college professor to try to change history.
