I'm just now reading Jonathan Latimer's "Murder in the
madhouse", c35
(International Polygonics ed, c89) This is the only Latimer
book I've ever read or own and it's absolutely wonderful.
Lots of fun. William Crane gets himself sent as a patient to
a fancy asylum in upstate New York because there's a very
wealthy older woman patient there who needs a P.I. to help
her find her lost money. Crane calls himself a great
detective and does deduce some interesting facts about the
others; such as announcing to the admitting doctor that the
nurse he likes is hiding in the back room. He is able to
deduce this from what he observes. I am glad to hear that
this wasn't the only funny book he wrote and I will
definitely look for more. Marian Poller Herzlyia, Israel
