Everybody's Somebody's Fool

OK, maybe it's because I was a teenager during the late 50s, early 60s that I like the Sam McCain series so much, because each McCain novel is such a peachy trip down memory lane. But, really, it is a lot more than that: McCain is an excellent writer, a wordsmith, even. His writing is sparse, sensitive and muscular, with the occasional nail-on-the-head metaphor. The small-town characters are all quite colorful, but very believable. Most important of all, he establishes plausible crimes that have various suspects, with twists and surprises in the denouement. For instance, in this one, who would have ever thought that the murderer was...? Just go read the book and have a great time!

Another great Sam McCain mystery !!! If you liked the others, you will LOVE this one. GREAT READ !! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
