This review is from: Lady Killer (Hardcover)

Anthony Gilbert was actually a female:

Lucy Beatrice Malleson. I would never

have guessed. She wrote alot of true

thrillers.

This is about a very handsome guy in his 30's who seeks out females that age or older who have some money and only themselves to support and wines and dines them These are ladies who until they met this handsome guy otherwise had little or no chance of

ever marrying and would give their right foot to find a man. this guy goes by different names with each female he meets. The ladies have money

but no relatives so he figures why cant

he have it. AS he tires of each one

and has gotten their money turned over

to him to manage and also be the

beneficiary of eachin her will...well

you might be able to guess what happens

after he,s through cleaning them out..

he has a little cottage way outside of

London; no one lives around it. his

new bride is thrilled with her little

honeymoon cottage. One of the ladies

he conned was a bit smarter than the

rest and she had to endure hell before

she was rescued and it will be obvious

to Gilbert fans who rescued her-none

other than the famous Harry Crook;

larger than life; drives a monstrosity

of a car he ca lls "the Scourge".

Every policeman has heard of Arthur

and his Scourge. Arthur was actually

a lawyer who operated mostly just

outside the law. If the police were

perplexed by a case they would go to

Arthur-he could find out things the

police could not. He was furious with

this womanizer and vowed he would get

him if it was the last thing he did.

Crook: Stormed at by shot and shell,

right to the gates of hell; crook on

the trail as well..

...and Crook, you know, always gets his man.
