Easeful Death by Ralph Mcinarny
Easeful Death is by the author of the Father Dowling series so I guess I was expecting a Father Dowling mystery. Not that I’ve ever read one of those that I can recall. Anyway, Easeful Death is quite something else but not quite good. It’s the story of a writer who fakes his own death only to discover that someone has posthumously published his best work (which he didn’t actually write). Now he’d like to be living again. Meantime, certain characters are investigating (not enthusiastically) his faked death. A muddled plot with no interesting characters or suspense, just events that happen sequentially.
