<u>Flander's Panel</u> actually had some unexpected twists inside an intriguing mystery. I found it slow and uninteresting but for more reasons of my peccadillos than the book's lack. It spoke to my aesthete side.
<u>The Club Dumas</u> is a much finer work in just the first three chapters. Happily, I can say, The Ninth Gate movie didn't deter me from reading it.
