Reviews
Interesting story
Newsnan
It's strange but some parts of this mystery were used in another book , The man in the que, I think, I listened to a couple weeks ago. The use of so many names starting with "A" is confusing to me. I have noticed older authors did this a lot, not sure why. Still an interesting mystery. Most readers were good.
Excellent Story and Readers

Anthony reminds me of Lord Peter Wimsey and Albert Campion - detectives who aren't afraid of playing the "silly ass". That is, they don't take themselves too seriously but they take their detection seriously. The explanation after the killer is revealed goes on a bit too long, otherwise I enjoyed it very much.
