Oh, the ending might have been better and a little more climatic, too. S ixty years ago, Chicago newspaper writer Fredric Brown, a Gary teenager whod started his career as a proofreader on a Milwaukee paper, won an Edgar Award for best first novel from the Mystery Writers of America. And the view did not detract from the story too much, anyway the women are not made out to be bad, just not as good as some really are. Be nice to see some contrast to know Brown did not take a dark view of women - but then the novel would have had to have been rewritten. Seems like all the novels show the average, normal person as being intelligent, capable, and good - though, in this novel, some of the women seemed a little sexually promiscuous and to have no ambition seemed only the men in the story had ambition and a work ethic. This is the first Brown novel I've read (heard two of his radio shows before listening to the novel), and it makes me want to read more. ![]() Story worth a listen for the twists and turnsĭetective story that kept me interested, with its unexpected changes in direction and surprises around corners. ![]() |
