Heywood Gould. One Dead Debutante (1975)


     Heywood Gould. One Dead Debutante (1975) The tough guy hero-narrator (Josh Krales) is a journalist. A hit that kills five people (including the title character) leads him on a twisting and turning chase that ends, more or less, in a tobacco field in Carolina. Political and other kinds of corruption abound. The story telling is generally fast paced, but the blurbs promise more than Gould delivers. For one thing, it’s not nearly as funny as the review snippets claim. *½ (2004)
