Reviews

[John Grace · Rating 2 out of 5]

Late era Carter Brown is a bit weak compared to the 60s volumes. This goes for crazy prices on Amazon but bought mine for like $2.

[Danial Ahmed · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hmm! I must say along with solving a murder case, that is of course a suspense ride, Mr. Carter has given a very profound erotic touch to the story as well which makes this book an ideal read.
