A skinny dipping party comes to an abrupt end when a body is found in the pool. While trying to discover who killed the Hollywood secretary, Shell Scott has to face a belligerent apeman, a snooty gossip columnist and 2 lovely ladies vying for his attentions. It's another enjoyable romp with the PI that eschews the usual organized crime connections of many of his cases. ( ) this escapade limits shell scott to two ladies, but maybe 1/4 of the book is his escapdes with them. Placed in Hollywood, he creates three plausible villains, of which one is the murderer. Prather is not known for his plot subtlies! It is an enjoyable romp, which is why he gets the extra 1/2 star. I know I am hard on Prather's alter ego (his middle name is Sheldon), but it's hard to take a caricature seriously. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
