Thanks for sharing! It's interesting to see where we differ, especially how low you rank Eight of Swords and The Sleeping Sphinx
There are two or three I haven’t read, but my preferences are quite similar to yours
I'm guessing the ones you haven't read are among the later ones?
Well deduced. I just read Panic in Box C, which wasn't great, unfortunately.
I've only read "The black spectacles" so far - but thoroughly enjoyed it. I've read more Carter Dickson so far.
I'll use your guide here to steer my future JDC reading!
Hope you enjoy discovering more JDC!
