Narrative Supposing Books Lady Here's Your Wreath

I found this quite a sad story - I suppose the love angle was just too good to be true; yet the two protagonists love each other very much, journalist Nick Mason and the charming lady, Mardi. Not that this is a love story, with Chase it's a tough gritty story with plenty of violence. Yet what could have been an endearing love angle is what sticks in the mind; and how it goes horribly wrong at the end. The author presents the attraction between the two and the unfolding romance very well; culminating in their getting married and brief heady happiness. Then it is all taken away. The lady is not quite what she seems to be; and somehow Nick's initial meeting/attraction to her sticks in the mind: "She...was the kind of girl you'd take home to your ma and not be nervous of starting a riot. She'd got a lot of soft brown hair and her eyes were large and brown. Her mouth was large and generous and her nose was small and cute."

Comment On Epithetical Books Lady Here's Your Wreath

Larry Richmond, the President of the Mackenzie Fabric Corporation, had been murdered... Since many big names, including the Commissioner of Police, were stakeholders in the business, the press had been told to lay off. However, when Nick Mason, hot shot journalist, was contacted over the phone by a woman with a metallic voice, and called to expose the murder frame-up, Mason was intrigued. By then, he had met an irresistible girl called Mardi, from the Mackenzie Corporation, and married her.

Opening Sentence: The boys, who had come to see Vessi die, were lined up before the bar. Reporter Nick Mason gets offered ten thousand dollars by a mysterious voice on the phone to break open the case of the death of Richmond for whom the wrong guy has been framed. Reluctantly, but with ever increasing curiosity Mason finds himself being sucked into a multi-layered plot with dangerously colorful characters and dangers bigger than he was counting on. Now this was fun. This was more like the

Chase Novels were a fad during my college years in the late sixties and early seventies. I just read this book to see if my taste for this kind of mystery novel was still there. Unfortunately, not. It is well suited for the younger me but not the older me. I still enjoyed it because it evoked the younger me which is now a latent energy. Nevertheless, Chase novels retain their character as usual.

This one was great story with all the predictable characters, the beautiful girls, and the occasional violence but it's the first book of the maestro's where I knew how it would end!

Talvez dos melhores livros que li no género. Também não li muitos. Cheio de suspense do início ao fim. Gostei das personagens. Nick Mason é um jornalista curioso e pronto para uma aventura. Nick tem uma personalidade muito forte, não desiste facilmente, um pouco mulherengo. Tem uma forma de se expressar muito engraçada. Fui surpreendida algumas vezes ao longo da trama. O final foi bom, dramático, achei que seria o final certo para aquela história.
