4.0

This book is preposterous. How many people have to die for Henderson to be saved? Too many! The Phantom Lady is one of those books where you realize the solution far too early on (with one exception) and watch ridiculous things happen and ridiculous conclusions be made. But each incident with Lombard interviewing the various characters involved in Henderson's alibi makes it worth the read. As you're reading, you'll think of ten different ways it could have been written better. But as I said, a good read none the less.
