Selby's First Case,
By Acute Observer (N. Jersey Shore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The D.A. Calls It Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
The D.A. Calls it MurderDouglas Selby has been elected the new District Attorney. Will he clean up the town? Sheriff Rex Brandon calls with the news of a dead body found in the Madison Hotel. Was it a natural death? An accidental overdose seems likely from the typewritten letter. But when his widow shows up she said the man was not her husband (Chapter 3). Will Doug's political enemies take advantage of this puzzle (Chapter 4)? Doug learns more about the hotel visitors (Chapter 5). Doug follows up on the clews. Dr. Ralph Trueman says the man found dead was poisoned; it wasn't an accident (Chapter 6). Doug learns some new facts; there is a new reporter in town (Chapter 7). An accomplished actress can show any emotion, even honesty (Chapter 8). That oculist had the names of his customers (Chapter 9). The dead man was identified (Chapter 10). But what was he doing in Madison City? Charles Brower shows up at the hotel and is questioned. More complications are found. Doug learned when the sound of typing was heard (Chapter 11). There are more complications (Chapter 12). Who would poison the coroner's watchdog (Chapter 13)? There is a shocking surprise when Doug meets Shirley Arden at ther home (Chapter 14). Did someone switch films in that camera (Chapter 17)? Shirley Arden tells Doug about her hidden past (Chapter 18); it connects the dots. You can analyze the shadows in a picture for the time of day (Chapter 19). Doug figures out a solution just in time: the man who poisoned the watchdog also poisoned the man in the hotel. Doug explains his solution to Sylvia Martin (Chapter 20). There is a loophole in the state marriage law that could affect a suit over a valuable inheritance. One afternoon newspaper reported how Selby and Brandon solved the murder for a happy ending. Erle Stanley Gardner is best known for his "Perry Mason" murder mysteries. His stories about "Douglas Selby Fighting D.A." were not as popular. You can see similarities in the characters.

Clean Up - or Clean Out,
By
This review is from: The D.A. calls it murder, (Hardcover)
Newly elected district attorney Doug Selby has a problem on his hands. While he may have beaten the corrupt political machine in the election, a death takes place shortly after the recount election confirms his position. Aided only by his friend, a newly elected Sheriff who puts justice over politics, and a woman reporter, he finds himself in a case where he has only 24 hours to solve the case - or be recalled and let Madison City fall back into the hands of crooks who subvert justice...
