None of Heyer's mysteries are very good: they range from dire to mediocre

"I've noticed that whenever people say you have to be realistic, what they're really saying is:
you have to think the way they think. If Columbus or Magellan, or whoever it was, had been
realistic and accepted things the way they are, they'd have gone on thinking the world was flat,
and you and I wouldn't be sitting here right now in the middle of America arguing."
