There are three men in Donna Buchanan's life... ENOS SIMON - a moody and emotional young teacher AARON BURNS - the considerate and shy husband of a cold and calculating wife WILLIAM WALTER TYLER - a middle-aged millionaire who gets what he wants ...Three lovers woo the ambitious young dress designer who's determined to sell her talent and her love to the highest bidder in order to crash the world of fashion. Here is another sophisticated novel of today by Fletcher Flora, author of Whispers of the Flesh .
Fletcher Flora was born in Parsons, Kansas in 1914. Flora began writing soon after returning from World War II. His crime and mystery short stories and novels were published in magazines like Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, Mr., Cosmopolitan, and in Alfred Hitchcock’s mystery anthologies. He received the Cock Robin Mystery Award for his first hard cover novel, Killing Cousins in 1960. Flora wrote over 150 short stories and 13 novels during his writing career. Three of his works are published under the house name, Ellery Queen. Timothy Harrison was also a pseudonym for his work, Hot Summer.
Confession: I did not finish this book. Thus, it is quite possible (although unlikely) that it picks up and gets good in the later part. It seems to be a bit of a soap opera and, even then, the storytelling feels awkward and there's little to hold my interest.
