This was the first novel Prather published in 1950, althouigh this particular copy must be the umpteenth printing as it has numerous other novels listed up front. The fact is I have read some score or so of Shell Scott mysteries and this is one of the best. It is one of the best because the author spends his time on characterization and plotting rather than have his alter ego (what else coujld a l6-0ffot teo-or-three inch tall adonis be to little Richard?) lasciviousoly licking his chops over numerous females. Oh, he does that a few times in this book, mostly humorously), but he sticks with the plotting and makes us meet the characters. We are there. In too too many of the Shell Scott fantasies, the reader is relegated to the role of voyeur. In short, this book left me wanting to read another of RSP's books.

Appartient à la sérieShell Scott (1)
In this classic mystery that introduced the iconic PI Shell Scott, he's out to catch a killer before his hot dame client is turned into a cold corpse. Lovely Lina, she's a dame who is so hot she scorches, but somebody wants to put out that fire. When her sister disappears and another woman is gunned down, Lina suspects she is next in line. Shell Scott, an infamous private dick who leaves a trail of gorgeous gals in his wake, is just the man for the case. Shell Scott, he's a guy with a pistol in his pocket and murder on his mind. The crime world's public enemy number one, this Casanova is a sucker for a damsel in distress. When a pair of lovely legs saunters into his office, he can't help but take the job, even when the case is a killer. Case of the Vanishing Beauty is the 1st book in the Shell Scott Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
