Hi Sisyphus, this was no 1a but several clever clues and a few tricky definitions required thought before the 16a moment. I particularly liked 7d for the misdirection, 6d, 18d and 9a. Cheers!
Thanks Sisyphus for an enjoyable crossword . This was probably my fastest solve of one of your puzzles; I missed 1d and couldn't parse 10a and 14a but all else slipped in smoothly. My top picks were 9a, 16a, 18a, 17d, and 18d. More in reply.
After your recent kind comments, it would be churlish of me not to have given this a go and I enjoyed it. You have clearly put some effort into your surfaces which I like to see. I enjoyed 1a, 8a, 16a, 1d, 4d, 15d and 17d (COTD). As a resident of 10a, rather nice to see it appear. Thanks. PM
Very good Sisyphus, thanks. It’s great to see the ongoing development in your puzzles. A few too many obscurities still, for my taste, but for the most part they were clued sympathetically. My podium: 17a, 19a and 23a.
