Carr is an excellent writer who knows how to create atmosphere, tone, unique characters and intriguing plots. You will find all of this in He Who Whispers.
Where it breaks down is the explanation of how the recent crime was committed. The flaw in this solution is so egregious, it makes the entire mystery fall apart from my perspective. As much as I enjoy Carr's work, this is not oneog his better efforts.
