    About this audiobook

    "There was a fire in her eyes that was scorching me me, who couldn't tell whether a dame wanted to kiss me or kill me! No matter how you look at it, 362235 are magic numbers. They have a real message for me. I'm Shell Scott, the private eye, and I'm very good at figures. You might say I follow them very carefully. I've been following this one for several days and learned her name is Sherry. I hated to think she was mixed in murder. But somebody was planning to send me to my friendly neighborhood mortician and I had to find out who or die trying."

    • 4/5
      this escapade limits shell scott to two ladies, but maybe 1/4 of the book is his escapdes with them. Placed in Hollywood, he creates three plausible villains, of which one is the murderer. Prather is not known for his plot subtlies! It is an enjoyable romp, which is why he gets the extra 1/2 star.I know I am hard on Prather's alter ego (his middle name is Sheldon), but it's hard to take a caricature seriously.
