Edward Stewart grew up in New York City and Cuba. His first novel, Orpheus on Top, was published in 1966. He wrote thirteen more novels, including the bestselling Vince Cardozo thrillers Privileged Lives, Jury Double, Mortal Grace, and Deadly Rich. He died in Manhattan at the age of 58.
Boring. I am giving up at the 80 page mark. It's supposed to be a screwball comedy, but is just dull. There are tons of characters that I can't keep track of. Lots of nothing happens and then someone gets their head chopped off with an axe. Finally! Progress!
Then nothing much happens until someone else's head gets chopped off as well.
I gave it a fair shake. Honestly, I should have given up much sooner.
