The Orchard Killer

by Rex Wolfe

Elizabeth Caldwell is a hardworking, hardnosed homicide detective with a penchant for working alone - and a broken heart from the recent breakup with her ex-fiancé, Brandon Price. With her life in shambles, her apartment gone and now loving back home with her parents, Liz takes solace in her work. There is pride I what she does, and horror. When a new case hits her desk it has all the gut wrenching earmarks of a serial killer in the making and with the clock ticking, Liz knows she has no time to lose. As the body count rises, Liz follows clues and interviews those closest to the victims, trying to find a suspicious face in the crowd. Yet when the suspect pool narrows, the face she finds is not the face she expect... Brandon Price, her very own ex-fiancé. The evidence is overwhelming, yet there is no way that Brandon could be the killer... Could he?

Disappointing

This mystery is too cute for its own good. Quite unbelievable plot and characters. I won't read another by this authpr.

Different kind o Rex Stout novella

Well worth reading novella by Rex Stout. It moves quickly and has a surprise ending. The style is not like Nero Wolfe novels.
