Bedrooms Have Windows is the 12th book of the 28-book strong Cool and Lam series that the creator of Perry Mason wrote under the pen name AA Fair. If you are new to the series, it is a terrific hardboiled detective series featuring a mismatched pair of detectives. Bertha Cool is a heavyset loudmouthed penny-pincher. Donald Lam is slightly built, has a knack for solving confusing cases, and a magnetic attraction for beautiful women.
This story is all about a femme fatale that catches Lam's eye while he is taking a break from another case. A "small, well-formed package of dynamite. A pocket edition Venus - high-breasted, thin-waisted, smooth-hipped -with large brown eyes and taffy-colored hair." There are no-tell motel rendevouses, nightclubs, prowlers, peeping toms, maniacs on the loose, cheating spouses, and, of course, murder most foul. And Lam finds himself suddenly up to his eyeballs in all of it and a sex crazed murder suspect to boot.
It is, as all the books in this series are, a smooth easy read that draws the reader in quickly. At times, they are so many players and so many criss-crossing motives that it can be a little confusing, but Lam manages to figure it all out before its too late. A fine read. ( )
