Review - Murder and the Married Virgin
Boring and poorly written with long, run-on sentences, plot holes galore, and characters that bored me.

| Notes: | Armed Services Edition Detective Mike Shayne is called in on two interlocking cases—to find a missing necklace and to solve the murder of the maid who died in the house the next night. He figures out the necklace was stolen by the chauffeur who wanted to sell it to run away with the woman of the house. He murdered the maid because she was the only one who could report that the necklace wasn't stolen as reported. (She's also the virgin of the title because she pretended to be married to her brother so she could visit him in prison.) |
