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.

Quite brilliant I thought and one of my favourites for some time. I had an inkling what was going on from a couple of answers but the endgame still pleased me. Thanks very much Charybdis

Much like last week, a perfectly fine puzzle with no end game to speak of; what to do was readily apparent so it was just a matter of identifying the nature of each clue. Still, many good clues that...
