You have a detective with a keen and logical mind who by nature is obsessed with doing his duty even if it hurts his friends, a cunning and devious vamp who plays an innocent for a fool and pays the ultimate price, and a group of suspects that are such likable and warmly interconnected folks you don't want any of them to be saddled with the crime. Yet one is a murderer and must be officially charged. I highly, highly recommend Did She Fall? by J. Thorne Smith, available in ePub format in our own Patricia Clark Memorial Library. |
