Captain Heimrich teams up with a professor to teach a killer a lesson in this mystery from the authors of the “excellent” Mr. and Mrs. North series (The New Yorker).

Capt. M. L. Heimrich of the New York State Police may not have the flash of hard-boiled city detectives, but there’s no lead the intrepid investigator won’t follow until his every hunch is satisfied . . .

When Walter Brinkley—professor emeritus of English literature—throws a cocktail party for newlywed friend Paul Craig and his bride, he has no idea the celebratory affair will spark a chain of events ending in a string of scandalous murders.

The first victim is beautiful party guest Caroline Wilkins, shot while sunbathing nude in a secluded place a few days after the soiree. Called in to investigate, Captain Heimrich uncovers information that links the dead woman to a notorious scandal rag. But before he can connect all the dots, a second malicious murder throws him for a loop.

With someone in Westchester County on a killing spree, Heimrich has little time left to catch the culprit. Luckily, Professor Brinkley might have just the expertise needed to crack the case . . .

Accent on Murder is the 11th book in the Captain Heimrich Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Frances and Richard Lockridge were some of the most popular names in mystery during the forties and fifties. Having written numerous novels and stories, the husband-and-wife team was most famous for their Mr. and Mrs. North Mysteries. What started in 1936 as a series of stories written for the New Yorker turned into twenty-six novels, including adaptions for Broadway, film, television, and radio. The Lockridges continued writing together until Frances’s death in 1963, after which Richard discontinued the Mr. and Mrs. North series and wrote other works until his own death in 1982.

Good writing, occasionally burst-of-laughter good, with a certainly surprising climax. Heimrich has some fascinating problems to work around and keeps it all under control.

I purchased this book and find that the formatting is all wrong on my Kindle. The letters are extremely large: one or less per page, even with the display settings on the smallest type size. Please correct or refund

Defective Kindle book

Returned the Kindle book. It was defective - the print was such that there were only 2 or 3 extremely large letters to a page. Would like to have it replaced with a good copy of the book.
