    Detective/Crime Genre

    As a whodonit mystery this works well, but has some serious flaws IMHO. The main characters are a married couple, Nick and Nora, living the good life in New York. The plot winds nicely around a series of murders and red herrings unraveled by Nick. That he has any reasoning power at all is a surprise because he's obviously a problem drinker. At one point Nora remarks that she'd like him to stay sober for a day, and he replies he didn't come to New York to stay sober and demands she give him a drink... before breakfast. And yet we're to assume he has the mental ability to figure out the complicated crime. I realize this novel was written before alcoholism was fully recognized as the disease it is, but it's a pity that excessive drinking is so glamorized.

Initially, Nick doesn't want to get involved, but when Clyde's girlfriend Julia Wolf is found murdered and with him being the number one suspect, Nick has no choice but to heed Dorothy's pleas to both locate and exonerate her missing father. Nick Charles is back on the case! But like most of ...
