Seriously. It was way too over the top for me. But I think more people prefer to dwell in sick gore these days.

I have to find a copy.<br /><br />Thanks for the review and the information on the author.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-506358489015565993.post-90931274709114961782015-07-28T16:49:04.386-04:002015-07-28T16:49:04.386-04:00Nancy, I love that!

I enjoy Sue Grafton's books for that reason, and I have noticed that more popular crime/thriller/suspense novels follow a trend, and that, to me gets BORING, or the crime are so horrifically graphic that it is hard for me to continue---kind of like romancing the gruesome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-506358489015565993.post-78651523194471668812015-07-28T16:24:16.481-04:002015-07-28T16:24:16.481-04:00Skye, one of the best so far!

And there is such a wide array of suspects in this book that it is never dull. I love these old books.

My mother had a huge collection of Dell books, and even though I am not familiar with this particular book, some of Zelda's other titles sound very familiar. My mother was a great reader, and there were always books around. I am becoming interested in this vintage crime genre. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
