I wouldn't call the theme subtle, lumen!

Not sure about 24d. Parsing or definition. I am a coeliac so not sure it's defined correctly!

Hi Lumen,

I thought it was excellent. In addition to 12a I particularly liked 19d, which is as smooth an anagram as one's likely to see.

24d if you "CORN(er)" the market in a particular stock you monopolise it.

Just finished this. I also particularly liked 19d. I saw the theme but didn’t recognise half as many as picked out on 225
