The wayward beauty who comes back to her old hometown to titillate her ex-boyfriend (now a married man and a lawyer) and to blackmail her ex-husband is ripe bait for murder. And murder is just what she gets. Suspicion falls heaviest on the old flame and not on the discarded husband-for very obvious reasons. At the time of the lady's demise, the lawyer was out of his legal mind, befuddled by a number of those potent concoctions known around the cocktail table as gimlets. In the second place, he was squarely on the scene of the crime.... Unfortunately, the police find his explanation incredible. Fortunately, his wife doesn't. And while her husband is carted off to durance vile, she sets out to pursue an investigation of her own.
"The Irrepressible Peccadillo" is written with all Fletcher Flora's customary verve and sophistication. To the gripping story of a man on the spot, he adds plenty of wit, sex, and humor -- and comes up with a puzzle that will keep the reader guessing to the last page.
