This review is from: The talk show murders (Hardcover)

"The Talk Show Murders" by Steve Allen was his first mystery book, written in 1982, and features a P.I named Roger Dale, as Steve tells us the events of the Talk Show Murders. Dale finds himself sucked in finding the brazen killer who kills talk show guests from under everyone's nose. Dale finds himself mroe frustrated as the body count piles up, and the FBI gets more persistent on him dropping the case. Finally, Dale and the FBI decide to work together for the book's climax, a mega-talk special. Allen does a good job, but it feels a bit empty as we don't get to see as much as the killer's motive as we want.
