I suspect the issue with the DeMille was the length, not its intrinsic interest.

Thanks. Definitely case-by-case. Things could get messy real fast if everyone went chopping and changing their nominations, this just seemed a reasonable compromise in the circumstances - and
The Perfect Horse is one that will get a vote from me.
I did wonder if
Word of Honour might be a bit long. I also considered that, given that DeMille is so well known, if you like him you've probably read it, and if you don't you probably won't be in a hurry to try. (And the blurb isn't very appropriate to the book IMO.)

You're welcome. It almost got a second from me as soon as it went up, but I decided I should hold on and see what else showed up and then I ran out of votes.
I haven't read that Mary Stewart book. The book of hers I've read most recently was
Wildfire at Midnight, which was a fun murder mystery - a wonderful array of characters.
