Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

This Mr. & Mrs. North mystery has the couple involved in solving the case of a murdered senator, a case which may (or may not) involve members of his family. John Michalski provides subtle vocal characterizations for most characters; police and villains are given various New York accents. Conversations are well paced and convey the emotions of the moment, a plus since much of the action is detailed through dialogue. Thanks to a few references to the decade and Michalski's brisk and often wry narration, this plays well today for fans of gentler, less graphic murder mysteries. M.A.M.

This review is from: The Dishonest Murderer (Hardcover)

When the poisoned Bowery bum turned out to be a missing Senator, Lt. Weigand was glad that Mr. and Mrs. North were not involved. Then he found that they knew the murdered man -- and were just wacky enough to put their own heads into a noose trying to untangle this bizarre, baffling case.
