throwmeabook 's review for:

3.0

While investigating the value of a stock inherited by his client, attorney (and amateur sleuth) Gilmore Henry, unwittingly becomes embroiled in a scandalous murder mystery.

For fans of noir fiction, this was an entertaining and intriguing mystery originally published in 1943, with a wonderfully quirky and awkward leading man, and many period references that enhanced the atmospheric setting of this novel.
