While the plot was interesting, the verbiage wasn't. This author possesses the not-so-unique ability to take a novelette and turn it into a overly long, dragged out novel. At 291 pages it had to be 100 pages too long. After about 70-80 pages I began to skim the text in a rush to get to the end, but only because I wanted to know who killed the dumb blonde.

And even though it took place in the 1950s, I really got tired of the number of cigarettes she smoked and the alcohol she drank. And some of the characters were just that, weirdo types the author thought readers would find plausible.
