Title: Crisp Fast Moving Mystery
Review: This is a quick read. The plot is clever. it concerns a man who cons women into marrying him and then poisons them. The detectives of the 87th are in a race against time before the con man claims his next victim. The story develops the Steve Carrella character as well as his wife Teddy. Obviously, the first of the 87th precinct novels - it is remarkable how well it fits in with the later books in the series. Basically the same characters run throughout the series and they are developed over time.
