Murder Yet to Come

"Murder Yet To Come" by Isabel Briggs Myers has at least three attributes that make it a 5-star read: A gripping plot; the incorporation, years before the author created the MBTI assessment instrument, of clearly recognizable Jungian-Myers personality types; and the fact that it won first prize in a mystery novel contest beating out a submission by Ellery Queen. It may not have been the first mystery to include love interest as a significant part of the plot, but the combination may well have earned her the prize. Anyone intrigued by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (r) will enjoy the clear depictions of an ISTJ, an INFP, an INTP amd am ENFP among the main characters. Although written 70+ years ago it can stand up with the best that is published today.The story starts as a mission to rescue a damsel in distress but the duo enlisted to aid in the rescue, a playwright-amateur-detective and an off-duty police type, conclude that an apparent accident was in fact murder and the mystery is off and running.
