Richard Wormser wrote for several fiction genres
(Western,
children's, sociological/romance, TV dramatizations) and his
mysteries are
outstanding, THE LATE MRS FIVE included. They run the gamut
from tense to
comic. THE WIDOW WORE RED, aka, THE HANGING HEIRESS was a
hoot. THE BODY
LOOKED FAMILIAR was a fast paced story of two high ranking
police officials
who are trying to do each other in. I loved THE INVADER. It
reminded me a
lot of John Holbrook Vance's Pleasant Valley Murders. The
most engaging for
me was THE TAKEOVER. It was a witty, Machavellian story of
city politics
with a garnish of murder conspiricy.
