Chronologically, Murder and the Married Virgin is the first Mike Shayne novel with Lucy Hamilton working as his secretary and the first with him working out of a New Orleans office. Lucy is new to the detective field and a bit uncomfortable with the sordid details and even threatens to walk out. That light banter is a good foul to the tough detective work Shayne does. This is Brett Halliday's version of a locked-room mystery, trying to solve the mysterious death of a maid who seemingly killed herself right before her wedding day. Halliday throws in the usual mysterious women, nightclubs, gamblers, jewel thieves, and femme fatales as well as the not uncommon all points bulletin for s pickup on Shayne for murder. This is a straight-up solid detective novel. There's no attempt here to be clever or literary. But it's just what the doctor ordered: solid, tough, no-nonsense private eye work.
