A seemingly straightforward puzzle this week, but I was sure it wouldn’t turn out to be free of a trick or two.

This is the second prize puzzle by Paul that has fallen to me to blog in succession, and there are no complaints from me, although I do have a couple of quibbles. This puzzle featured an animal theme, with every clue (and many solutions) having a reference to an animal of some kind, some very ingeniously. I am bothered by 2 down (assuming that I’ve got it right), which strikes me as a very weak clue by Pauline standards.

A nice ‘straightforward’ puzzle here from Monk, with no obvious thematic links or complications, but some lovely surface readings, especially the two long across clues. I originally found myself wondering if this was ‘difficult’ enough to be a Saturday prize puzzle. However, on working through it more fully I suspect the presence of a nina which might make those two long answers more significant?
