Pequena biografia
John Creasey (September 17, 1908 — June 9, 1973) was born in Southfields, Surrey, England and died in New Hall, Bodenham, Salisbury Wiltshire, England. He was the seventh of nine children in a working class home. He became an English author of crime thrillers, published in excess of 600 books under 28 different pseudonyms. He invented many famous characters who would appear in a whole series of novels. Probably the most famous of these is Gideon of Scotland Yard, the basis for the television program Gideon's Way but others include Department Z, Dr. Palfrey, The Toff, Inspector Roger West, and The Baron (which was also made into a television series). In 1962, Creasey won an Edgar Award for Best Novel, from the Mystery Writers of America, for Gideon's Fire, written under the pen name J. J. Marric. And in 1969 he was given the MWA's highest honor, the Grand Master Award.

One of the absolute worst books I've ever read. A race of little people lives underground. One day they decide to come up, disguise themselves as rabbits and beginning destroying crops around the world. The idea is just ludicrous. I read plenty of sf and fantasy, so my ability to suspend disbelief is pretty high. This book stretched that ability until it snapped. There are much better Dr. Palfrey stores than this idiocy.

The main plot, involving smuggling and potential robberies on the river, was great. The subplot involving the teenager abducted for sexual reasons was terrible, especially because characters (male AND female) expressed the repellent view of some girls being attractive in a way that men “can’t help” responding to. Way to completely absolve men of any responsibility, ugh. Not recommended, probably going in the recycle bin rather than the donation bin.

In this book people have trouble with being in love with the wrong people. Or are they the right people? Or are they in love with the right person, then the wrong person, then the right person again?
It gets slightly ridiculous, but probably not as much as it sounds.

Marjorie is in love with Tom, but her aunt/guardian already has a husband picked out for her: the dependable and handsome Hugh. Hugh is in love with Marjorie, but when he sees how set she is upon marrying Tom, he offers to tell her aunt that he is already secretly married and thus not an eligible suitor. Marjorie jumps at the offer and suggests a name for his "wife."
Unfortunately, the name she picks happens to be the name of a REAL PERSON, a friend from her school years. Silly girl.
The aunt is shocked by this revelation, but wants to dig further and find out why Hugh is estranged from his "wife." She invites Joan (the school friend who has unconsciously been placed in the role of wife) to her house and tries to reconcile the couple. Joan is outraged by what she perceives as an unbelievable insult.
Hugh unintentionally heaps insult upon insult on Joan over the next few weeks, trying to make things better, but not succeeding. Before too long he realizes he is in love with her. What happens from there on out is connected to the dastardly schemes of Joan's former employer, a creep who has started to smell scandal and is set on figuring out what the deal is with this rumored marriage. He's at least as interested in that as in getting Joan to marry him.
Throw into the mix some new neighbors for Joan, and you have many many many opportunities for love polygons (I'm pretty sure it's more than a triangle at some points).
