The First and the Best Michael Shayne Mystery

This is the first Michael Shayne mystery written in 1939. Phyllis Brighton tells Shayne that she is getting crazy and that she will kill her own mother. Shayne visits the Brighton house at that night, but Phyllis's mother is already killed. And what is worse, Phyllis's hands and clothes are red in blood...This is definitely one of the best Shayne mysteries. The story is very well-plotted and it harmoniously contains many elements; fair-play detection, psycho-suspense, humor, hard-boiled violence and romance. And Michael Shayne is very attractive. He is a tough and ruthless guy, but humane and decent at heart. I particularly like the way he treats Phyllis. He does everything he can to help her, even breaking the law.
