OK, but McCloy has written better mysteries,
By Ron "mvg@whidbey.com" (Whidbey Island, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Who's calling? (Mass Market Paperback)
From the Dell paperback edition: "What This Mystery Is About ---- * a nasty and nasal voice on the telephone, which gives a strange and cruel warning * A vicious caricature of a naked woman with a face which is a portrait * A loud knock on the front door -- and nothing more * A game of telepathy with a strange purpose and even stranger results * A very rude message written on a mirror in lipstick * Six liquer chocolates each containing a lethal dose of poison * A knitting bag that moves without being touched * A hallway festooned with a giant spiderweb of blue woolen yarn.
From reviewer: Dr. Basil Willing gets involved in what might be a case of poison by mistaken identity at a weekend house party attended by a U.S. Senator, his wife, son and niece. Also their neighbors Eve and her son (who is secrectly loved by the niece) and the son's fiance. McCloy was a prolific writer in the 1940's and her books flow at a nice clip. This one is okay, but not one to read over and over like some of her others are (i.e. Cue For Murder). |
