Some clever easy tariff clues.
Liked 27a & 17d. Wasted time searching for pointy tools in 20d.

Solid effort from Everyman.
I struggled and even feared a DNF before getting it together.
COD definitely 23.

A bit tougher than usual but with all the usual suspects present, so solvers should find no trouble getting a foothold.

I enjoyed the rhyming pair and made me think how one might 7d at the hands of a 2d - do a Hitchcock, perhaps:-)

I did wonder if there might be a connection between the top and bottom long clues at 1a and 27a, but I think I was probably seeing things.

COD - the witty 13d.

Thanks to Everyman.

A slow start to this one, not helped by the wrong three letter word in 3d. A good start to a Sunday. Thanks Everyman.

Brendan, I had the same thought re 1 and 27.

I'm glad to hear you say that Darla, I was worried that the shock of me noticing a rhyming pair might be causing me to be a tad over exuberant:-)

Very good I thought.
Brendan, I thought of Poe but I like the Hitchcock suggestion.

My first pass through made me think this was going to be a tricky one, but once I got started, it all fell into place.
LOI 13d, which held me up for quite a while.
Thanks Everyman!

My thoughts exactly. Still haven’t got 13d though.

13d was my LOI too, and needed a bit of lateral thinking. Let us know if you’d like a hint, Nicoladawn.
