3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as bad as it looks from the cover!,
By CMBohn "cmb" (Orem, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Borrowed Alibi (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first in the Vic Varallo series by Lesley Egan/Elizabeth Linington. Varallo moves from a small town to work on the Glendale California police department. He and his new wife were not expecting the cost of living to be quite so high, so they advertise for a tenant to take over the garage apartment. Their new boarder seems like a decent, quiet guy. Ross Duncan is an insurance salesman. Then his ex-wife is murdered and he's the chief suspect.
Fortunately for Duncan, something about the case reminds Vic and partner Charles O'Connell of a old case written up in a book some time ago, the Wallace case. It sounds almost identical. So is it a frame? And if it is, who set it up? This book is dated in a lot of ways, the language, the prices given, and really the general tone of the book. But if you enjoy police procedurals or know anything about the Wallace case, you might enjoy this one. Out of print, but if you find a copy, it's worth reading. CMB |
