Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Keeps you leaning forward. A good follow-up to Evil Under the Sun.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 10 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1939: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something to relax to.

Mary Whitman has gone to Reno to obtain a divorce. While there she is arrested on suspicion of murdering a fellow guest at her hotel (which specializes in divorcers). There are many others at the hotel who wanted the victim out of the way. Charlie comes from his home in Honolulu to solve the murder.
