he goes into a private garden and removes a grill from a well to inspect it without a warrant - he also opens a private letter while waiting for the inhabitant to return - although I consider that both are forgivable errors in a classical crime novel. Inspector French does have a habit of doing things that would be considered illegal or gaining evidence that wouldn't be permissible in court even in the 1920s (this novel was published by Collins in 1928) e.g. I did think the solution to mystery was about 70% guessable from about the middle of the book whereas other novels kept me guessing quite some time. As ever - in this novel - Crofts writing is fluid and easy to read and his plotting is almost perfect which is backed up by a continual stream of investigation by Inspector French (who unusually in this story doesn't whizz off left right and centre to a multitude of locations and countries - this time only to South Wales & Devon!). Crofts has Inspector French doing amazing feats of deduction in this story as he only has a badly damaged corpse (with his face smashed in) wearing only his underwear in a common wooden crate (with no markings) that has been found sunk near the coast some 5 or 6 weeks after the person was murdered. This novel is a much better version of The Cask which was excessive in it's verbiage and showed Crofts up as a new writer (his first novel) - in the Cask we have a body found in a Cask! in the Sea Mystery we have a body found in wooden crate. I enjoy his puzzle, timetable & alibi busting element to his stories - although I think this may irritate some readers as some of the novels over do it a bit. This is about the tenth Freeman Wills Croft novel I have read and reviewed in the last year or so.
The Petmate Ultra Vari Kennel, our recommendation for a hardshell crate for home and flying, is better than a wire crate for car trips-but it's still not as safe as either a harness or a car-specific crate.This is about the tenth Freeman Wills Croft novel I have read and reviewed in the last year or so. If you plan to travel with your dog in the car often, consider buying a Sleepypod Clickit Sport or Terrain restraint harness or upgrading to a Gunner Kennel, both of which are CPS Certified. A failing crate not only imperils your pet but also could release the pet as a projectile, potentially injuring you, as well. Those tests (and earlier 2013 tests) also confirmed that almost no crate under $150 will pass a crash test, and some will make a crash worse for a dog. Even the strongest wire crates fared extremely poorly in the 2015 Center for Pet Safety/Subaru crash tests of travel crates. Every book we read and every expert we talked to reinforced this advice, sometimes without our asking. For one thing, you should never put your dog in a wire crate in the car. The crate’s narrow windows also restrict the view, which might be a concern if you’ve got a particularly curious pup-or one with FOMO.Īn important note: We did not test for car safety. But if you’re using this crate at home, in a crowded room it may be harder to find a spot for it where your dog gets a good view. That leaves fewer ways for your pup to escape. The Ultra Vari’s secure design features only one door, rather than two on adjacent sides like on our other picks. (This model is not specifically designed for in-car use, though, so consider a restraint harness instead). This crate is easy to assemble and simple to latch shut, and it has proper tie-downs for safer airline travel in a plane’s belly. Petmate’s Ultra Vari Kennel is the go-to among the dog trainers we interviewed, and it’s the best travel-friendly pick for most dogs. If you need a crate that you can use to occasionally fly with a dog, or you want something that a tenacious dog is less likely to escape from at home, a solid plastic crate (sometimes called a “sky kennel”) is a good bet.
