- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A really good book with a really bad ending. Good characters, good basic plot, but the ending was so contrived, it really ruined it for me. This was an old public domain story. Maybe Wallace was the precursor of Grisham. He can write a good story, but (for the most part), he just can't end it worth a shit.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Thomas Lyne, owner of Lyne's stores, makes an unwanted advance against one of his employees, a young lady named Odette Rider who promptly resigns after the incident.When Detective Jack Tarling(Lyne's cousin) shows up at Lyne's to investigate a theft matter, Lyne who is still angry with Odette for spurning his advances, decides that he will pin the theft crime on her. Detective Tarling wants no part of this set up and declines to offer his assistance.Later, Lyne is found dead with his hands crossed against his body with a handful of daffodils. All indications point to Odette, but did she really kill him or is she covering for someone?This was a cleverly plotted mystery complete with red herrings galore.
