Tipping My Fedora

The inverted crime story is one where the perpetrator is known from the outset, or close enough to it, and the thrust of the story is carried forward by our interest in seeing law or its representatives piece together the clues and evidence that will bring the criminal to book. In short, if you've ever seen an episode of Columbo, then you know exactly what I mean.
We submit this review for Bev's Vintage Mystery Scavenger Hunt; and Friday's Forgotten Books meme, hosted today by Todd Mason at his Sweet Freedom blog
