Spence and the Holiday Murders

Rating:
Summary: First of the Spence novels is disposable and brief
Review: Michael Derek Allen's first Spence novel "Spence and the Holiday Murders" aka "Spence and the murders in Petal Park" is about 180 pages long, and is a forgetable mystery. Spence is an inspector assigned to solve the blugoning murder of a jerk named Roger. This Roger was not so jolly, as he ripped off people with mortage schemes, slept around and disposed of women like tissues, and other naughty behavior. Who the killer is is not a big suprise, and you feel some sympathy as to their motive.
