Just finished Mask for Murder (aka Laughter Came Screaming)
by this
seemingly prolific author, and was wondering
about his other work,
what people would recommend and any worth
avoiding. I was not familiar
with him at all (name sure sounds like a
pseudonym) and just picked it up
based on the plot description - and lurid cover
art/blurb, I'll admit.
<i>MfM</i> was a pretty decent read,
well-paced and plotted, with
the always-appealing hook of our main character
leading a double life
as criminal and upstanding society man. The
writing was not expert, but
more than serviceable, sort of a "Goodis Lite"
with the tale of a man on
the run from his criminal deeds, foolishly
attempting to avoid his certain
fate. I would recommend it, and would love to
hear anyone else's impressions
of Kane and recommendations of further
reading.
