I just read The Amateur Murderer, and found it lacking. It
reads as if Daly sat down at the typewriter and started
typing have no idea where he was going. It lacks some of the
usual violence, and though some may say great, I think it
actually made this one kind of boring. The super-criminal
adversary, that Daly liked so much as an antagonist, comes
off really wimpy here as well. So, I was disappointed. I
think my favorite Williams adventures are THE TAG MURDERS and
TAINTED POWER.
