Listener No. 4393: Vingt-Et-Un By Little Hare

[AHearer]

Another pleasant puzzle, with unambiguous clues and a pretty, if straightforward, end-game. Thanks to Little Hare, both for the puzzle and for sending me back to the source of the message.

Glanced at it again, read the clue in a different way, and voila! Lovely crossword.

Let me add to the chorus of satisfaction at a well-crafter puzzle, tad on the easy side perhaps for some, but admirably elegant and unambiguous. For those seeking a stiffer test, try out the Schadenfreude in the latest CAM magazine which is out of the top drawer.

Having been told by Sam the the Independent Inquisitor won't be available on-line (yet?), I have returned to this puzzle and agree with others here - it was fun! It's The Times for me from now on!

[Indy-trier]

PS Sam is the guy employed by the Independent on-line to answer questions.

But Indy-trier, you are aware, aren't you, that the Inquisitor has now found a home in the i. I think all the Inquisitor setters, the editor John Henderson and the solvers are delighted as you get a cheaper, high quality paper and a beautifully presented IQ in the i.

Pretty much exactly what I want from a Listener - enough 'easy' clues to give a start, a super theme and grid reveals, and plenty of devious clues to keep the interest going. Many thanks Little Hare.

Still a few clues left. Found this a bit of a struggle but in a good way and enjoying the very neat construction. Not knowing the source at all didn't help and this example is not going to get me rushing out for more.
I thoroughly approve of some easier clues to get started. Thanks LH.
