found this book on a list ofclassics of crime fiction, I found a copy at the library certainly the book looked like it had passed through many hands.
This was a well contructed story of a police investigation into a murder back in the days before DNA and other forensic aids.
Besides the obvious police work and mounting clues, the story reflected the times and culture ofyears ago, so it was interesting also in that respect.
Synopsis: Chief Fellows solves the murder of a woman by slowly fitting together the bits and pieces of evidence.
But the guy still proves elusive, I found this to be quite welldone, the first of the books in the Fred Fellows series I've read.
I can see where some might find the chronicling of the police department's tedious tracing efforts to be dull, but I found it extremely interesting.
It's not a story with shocking twists, and character development is at a minimum this is is just a straightforward and effective telling of a murder investigation.
A good read written in a more innocent time,
I will definitely look for more books by this author, It is enjoyable to read a mystery where sex is referred to, but every detail doesn't have to be spelled out.
