From title Everyone had a tale to tell Michael Shayne. He had too many suspects to start with, and all of them were over-anxious to link themselves with murder. Some of them had actually come running to him with their stories before the crime was committed!The Shamus had to fill in the details himself and none of them were pretty. They dealt with secret assignations, queer sex exhibitions, blackmail--and brutal death. And the final punch-line was one of the most startling in Mike Shayne's violent career.

4.0 out of 5 stars How Do You Tell Who Is The Murderer When Everyone Has A Motive And An Alibi
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2015
The twentieth Mike Shayne mystery features this Miami private eye in a classic who-done-it with letters from the murdered damsel pointing to at least a quartet of suspects, each with a motive. Shayne doggedly hunts down the clues and witnesses until he can gather all the suspects in a room with police Chief Gentry where Shayne can point out the true culprit. There were some 77 Shayne mystery novels written under the house name Brett Halliday and they are all good sid classic mysteries.

Who killed Wanda Weatherby? Three calls to Michael Shayne open the case. An anonymous phone call warns Shayne to stay away from Wanda Weatherby and that, if he does and tears up the letter he receives from her the next morning, he will be rewarded with five thousand dollars. As soon as he gets off the phone he receives another call, a woman is dying and she is repeating Shayne's name and the name of Weatherby. A doctor is on his way, and would Shayne come too. Then another call follows by Wanda Weatherby herself. Before the night is over, both the dying girl and Weatherby will take the secrets of their deaths to their graves. Turns out the dying girl was poisoned and Weatherby was shot. Shayne will have four suspects from which to find the murderer.
