When Alf picked up the hitch-hiker, he seemed perfect as a stand-in for the horrific crime Alf was about to commit. But by luck William is saved from Alf's plan and someone else is killed in his place, this leads to a tangle of mistaken identity and an unsolved bank robbery from many years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A very good read,
By A Customer
This review is from: NEVER PICK UP HITCHHIKERS (50 classics of crime fiction, 1950-1975) (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book enormously. The plot is tight and well-crafted, and the characters are engaging, well-drawn, and well-developed. The main character develops (in about 48 hours) from a green, but clever, boy, into a charming, intelligent, young man, with a clear idea of who he is, and what he seeks in life. There's a rather sweet love-story, interesting bad guys, and a suspenseful crime story. A real pleasure--even if it doesn't include any of our old friends, Peters's familiar continuing characters. I got it from the library, and I'm trying to find a copy. I wish someone would re-publish it--I recommend it .

An excellent mystery,

I like all of Ellis Peters books, but this one tends to be better than most. The way she builds her plot and characters makes me surprised to find that nobody else has wanted to write a review about this book. It is very, very, good.

Light-hearted mystery,
By A Customer
This review is from: NEVER PICK UP HITCHHIKERS (50 classics of crime fiction, 1950-1975) (Hardcover)
I picked up this book on vacation several years ago because the author's name sounded familiar, and it instantly became one of my favorites! The characters are warm and believable, and the plot is a perfect mixture of surprise and predictability. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries with happy endings. It will make you smile.
