Deadline for a Critic

By William X. Kienzle

Book Overview

At a word from critic Ridley Groendal, plays closed overnight. Concert halls went silent. Books gathered dust on bookstore shelves. Thus, many sought revenge. But four were close enough to exact it. The playwright. The violinist. The author. The actress. All with a dark, longtime link to the victim. And to Father Koesler, who'd known Groendal since their school days. Who pulled the curtain down on Ridley? All Father Koesler has to go on are four incriminating letters -- and one burning question.

Yet another good mystery

Like most of Kienzle's books, this one had an interesting plot twist. It was quite difficult to find out who the killer was, and the ending was nothing short of surprising. The characters were fully developed, and all the background of the principal characters showed the reader why they had a problem with the victim. The plot was not only interesting, but easy to follow.
