A swift paced, entertaining bit of trash -- if one can be so contradictory in terms. Four Kansas teachers come to New York for summer school -- and the fatal charms of one of them involve all of them in a complicated career of warding off unwanted proposals -- which eventually come up against the stone wall -- for the moment -- of the girl herself getting a turn down. Entirely outside the provinces Rex Stout has hitherto investigated. No perversions this time (page his earlier novels) -- nor yet mysteries (page Nero Wolfe). Rental library.
