We are chugging, like a really fast moving train, along in the Crime Fiction Alphabet for 2013 meme.
This week we are up to the Letter O. Kerry's Blog
is kind enough to sponsor this community meme each and every week. The rules are very
simple: The posts must be related to either the first letter of a
book's
title, the first letter of an author's first name, or the first
letter of the author's surname, or even maybe a crime fiction
"topic". But above all, it has to be crime fiction. This time
around I will be featuring a Carter Brown title for each letter of the
alphabet.
Carter Brown: O is for Only The Very Rich
Private eye Danny Boyd likes his women wealthy and willing.
But the price tag on this one was $M-U-R-D-E-R!
Even the poor can afford murder
But only the very rich can do it in style
When the love rites of the very rich are interrupted by a corpse impaled on a tree, a forty million dollar widow hires Danny Boyd to clean up the mess, or shove it out of sight. But a missing fortune in jewels complicate matters. Especially when Danny finds that the widow only wore them in bed! The plot explodes at an English country manor during a weekend of sex and sadism that climaxes with MURDER!

Only The Very Rich
Scott - It's interesting how different the Russian cover is from the rest. The same's true of the cover second from the top.
ReplyDeleteI wish paperbacks were still 50 cents and still had such great covers. Nice Robert McGinnis cover at the top. And the third one too.
ReplyDeleteI would never guess from the covers they contain the same book.
