The first in Carr's series featuring Dr. Gideon Fell, Hag's Nook centers on the Starberth family, who
have owned and operated a prison for centuries. The property is entailed, meaning that the oldest

The first in Carr's series featuring Dr. Gideon Fell, Hag's Nook centers on the Starberth family, who
have owned and operated a prison for centuries. The property is entailed, meaning that the oldest
son will officially inherit, but first he must go through a rather bizarre ritual. It is at the time of such a
ritual when the story begins. The heir is one Martin Starberth, who is somewhat apprehensive -there is a curse upon the family and the Starberths have traditionally been found dead at the Hag's
Nook, the site of the old gallows where they used to hang witches -- with their necks broken. Try as
they might, Fell, young Dorothy Starberth and an American visitor of Fell's cannot prevent the latest
in a series of tragedies. The solving of the case is ingenious -- I must admit to being surprised at the
end. In fact, that's the best part of this book -- the unraveling of an ingenious criminal.
Considering that this was written in 1933, there is still enough between the covers to keep mystery
lovers reading: great atmosphere, a tinge of the supernatural, a good mystery complete with red
herrings, and above all, a good detective with uncanny reasoning and observational powers. If
you're into Golden Age mysteries, or if you want to try your hand at Carr's work, this would be a fine
place to start. It may be a bit off-putting to some readers because of the language usage in places,
but otherwise, it will definitely keep you interested and absorbed.

This was a really nicely written mystery, involving an old family ritual handed down for generations. I
loved the writing style, which was frequently humorous but also, at times, downright chilling. One
scene left me tempted to leave the lights on, LOL! The descriptions of people and places were also
really well done--I loved the writing style.
The emphasis is more on the mystery than on the characters, which is OK, as the mystery is quite a

The emphasis is more on the mystery than on the characters, which is OK, as the mystery is quite a

figure everything out, I enjoyed trying to do so :-)

Ultimately a disappointing read. When I first started it, it seemed as though it was going to be similar
in style to the Charlie Chan mystery series by author
(who became one of my favorite "new" authors in 2011). Initially, Dr. Gideon Fell shared character
traits with Inspector Chan: rotundity, humor and keen insight into the mystery at hand. The book
also followed a similar path to the Chan series: a young male sidekick helps the canny detective

traits with Inspector Chan: rotundity, humor and keen insight into the mystery at hand. The book
also followed a similar path to the Chan series: a young male sidekick helps the canny detective
solve what appears to be an unsolvable murder (and ultimately wins a girl in the process). Add to
this combination a mystery redolent to Arthur Conan Doyle's
, with it's cryptic family doggerel, hidden treasure, and sinister murderer in plain sight, and you're set
for a highly atmospheric and entertaining whodunnit from the Golden Age.
Only it wasn't.
Oh, the story had it's moments, and Carr does have a knack for delivering some shivery, creepy
visuals. But in the end, the mind-bending logistics of how the murder was committed, and the flat,
abrupt and unsatisfying ending overshadowed any previous enjoyment I had reading the story.
I will still try another Carr mystery, because I enjoy Golden Age mysteries and Carr's writing is good.
This one could be a one off for my personal taste.

Ah, those were the days, a golden age when the inadequacies of the British police were so
universally acknowledged that a violent crime involving anyone of social standing had to be
investigated by the Chief Constable personally. Ably assisted of course by an eccentric retired
academic, the local Rector, and a visiting young American romantically smitten with the murder
victim's sister.

The plot of Hag's Nook is convoluted, preposterous, contrived and hugely enjoyable. Carr is writing
to a strict formula where the puzzle is the thing: a criminal Sudoku to be solved according to the
rules of the whodunit – clues, red herrings, mystifications, and the subordination of all reasonable
behavior to the macabre dread of an improbable family curse.
In this first of the series Carr's hero, Dr Gideon Fell, takes an almost secondary role to the young
American romantic lead; of course the real mystery is why this well-educated though naive chap falls
so totally for a young lady descended from a family sinisterly bonkers for the last six generations.
She mutters anxiously about bad blood but he seems impervious to heredity and presses on to help
capture the villain - who's even more bonkers - and so of course she accepts his suite. A happy
ending.
Take this book as a classic of its type, and if you like this sort of dark and frothy ingenuity it's very,
very entertaining.

Nella prima indagine di Gideon Fell, IL CANTUCCIO DELLA STREGA, impariamo da subito a
conoscerlo grazie alle osservazioni del suo amico Tad Rampole: “gigantesco da colmare con la
sua mole l’enorme poltrona di pelle―, “il faccione rosso si era fatto ancora più rosso―,
avvezzo alle bevute in compagnia o in solitudine, “insinuava abilmente un boccale di Guinness
sotto un paio di enormi baffi―, mentre “il gran ciuffo bianconero danzava al ritmo dei
risolini―, “riempiva di tabacco la pipa e sembrava riflettere bonariamente su qualcosa che la
pipa gli aveva confidato.―
IL CANTUCCIO DELLA STREGA è stato scritto nel 1932 da JOHN DICKSON CARR.
È ambientato a Chatterham dove “c’è qualcosa di irreale nella straordinaria e sonnolenta
bellezza della campagna inglese, fatta d’erba lussureggiante, di sempreverdi, di campanili grigi,
di strade bianche e serpeggianti―, di maledizioni, leggende, ed ovviamente di segreti e misteri.
Il dottor Gideon Fell è simpatico, oltre che un abile professionista.
Tad Rampole è giovane, ma non sprovveduto.
