THE THEME IS MURDER

by Miriam Allen deFord ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 25, 1967

Short mystery stories are also sometimes reduced to showy stratagems but, for the most part, Miriam Allen deFord, who has written a good deal of fact crime, tells reasonable stories reasonably well. There are about fifteen of them: the death of a salesman involves an insurance payoff; an heiress finds her late husband indulging in a confidence swindle; a man whose career and marriage were destroyed achieves revenge only on his deathbed; and grislier touches in the Death in the Family which an undertaker acquires and Mortmain... Competent plus.
