3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, standard mystery, Jun 4 2008
By Margaret Plichta "rosieplichta" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stranger at Home (Paperback)
This book was written to take advantage of the popularity of the British actor George Sanders, who was credited with writing the story. It was actually written by a woman named Leigh Brackett, who was more of a science fiction writer, but she does a good job here.
The plot is simple. A man named Michael Vickers, on a trip with three buddies in Mexico, is assaulted, and disappears. He was never found, and people assume he has been killed. Of course, this is not the case. He comes back home to his life in Los Angeles after having been missing for four years, and determined to find out who tried to kill him.
This book is fast reading, and a very typical 1940's pot-boiler. Michael Vickers has a beautiful wife, of course, and a large estate, and pots of money. And although it is somewhat pretentious in that regard, the story is fun, and it is not easy to figure out who actually was involved in the crime. There are a couple of cool red herrings, and a plot twist at the end, all of which make it a fun read.
