I submit this review for Katie’s 2014 Book to Movie Challenge at Doing Dewey (for review links, click here) Bev’s 2014 Silver Age Vintage Mystery Challenge and Todd Mason’s Tuesday’s Overlooked Film meme at Sweet Freedom. This novel was later adapted into No Time to Die, probably the most maligned episode of my favourite American detective show, Columbo. The 87th Precinct series, after the intimate highlight of Blood Relatives, reaches back to its past for a much more expansive story centered around the wedding of Bert Kling, whose bad luck when it comes to love sadly continues.
