![Call After Midnight by [Mignon G. Eberhart]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gKA0q4alL._SY346_.jpg)
Only four other people are in the house when Fiora Vleedam is murdered — her husband Peter, his ex-wife Jenny, two of Peter’s business associates — and none of them could have done it. They all had eyes on each other. An intruder could have got in — but nobody saw an intruder.
Inspector Parenti suspects the husband and ex-wife of somehow being in collusion, but the reader knows Jenny is innocent and entirely truthful. And eventually Jenny seems to the next potential victim of the murderer. We get a lot of suspenseful scenes as Jenny’s terror builds. There’s romance as well as murder in the air. Peter wants Jenny back. And Peter’s associate Cal wants her too.
Mignon Erberhart was prolific, highly paid and often compared to Agatha Christie, but her plots and characters were very different from Christie’s. I enjoy her romantic suspense novels, although they are definitely melodramatic and not literary. This book came out in 1964, and Erberhart continued to publish her Golden Age thrillers until 1988.
