Ev 1082 Twosome By Moordon

Ev 1071 -The Empty House By Nutmeg

What a cracker! Loved some of the clues - in particular 22d. A real challenge and thoroughly enjoyable, although I had just a twinge of withdrawal for a touch of highlighting. Many thanks Nutmeg.

Nothing contentious here - the link between the extra letters and the perimeter was just tenuous enough to make me think for a while. Thanks the setter.

Ev 1066 Taxing By Eclogue

A fine puzzle though I would have liked more of an endgame. The method of entering the thematic answers is pretty easily deduced, and the revelation of the quote elicits an "ah" as you see how it...
