good listen

enjoyed it very much, the narration was easy to listen to. the story made it easy to listen to.

Dated but great writing

1964 - the casual way in which men discussed slapping a woman around feels shocking now. The inherent misogyny and domestic violence aside (difficult as that is) the story shone through. A good solid mystery. It even had an interesting moment in which the hero tells his virgin love interest, “if you say no, I’ll respect that.” Doesn’t make up for the slaps and “whuppen when she needs it” ick.
