by Dorothy B. Hughes ‧ RELEASE DATE: Dec. 2, 1940
Our mystery expert gave this a whole sheaf of stars, but we'll stop with two and report it another prodigiously pleasing story of horror and terror by the author of The So Blue Marble. Swift, smart, surefooted, exciting and superspecial. A cockeyed will which condemns three heirs to death by violence, a coterie of political and professional espions, socialite mistresses and the Feds -- well blended.
