Holmes ( Nine Time Nine and Rocket to the Morgue). Recent reviews of The Case of the Crumpled Knave and The Case of the Seven Sneezes turned me on to the fact that Boucher had an actual library of books aside from those published under the pseudonym of H.H. Instead, I typically think of him as the mystery critic who wrote forwards in reprints of other authors’ novels, or assembled short story compilations, such as The Quintessence of Queen. Boucher was a well regarded writer of both science fiction and mysteries, yet I only really associate his name with two mystery novels. Right? I mean, that’s the only other title by the author that ever really gets mentioned. Having enjoyed Anthony Boucher’s locked room classic Nine Time Nine, my natural next stop was Rocket to the Morgue.
