Until Temptation Do Us Part, by Carter Brown

Cover of paperback Until Temptation Do Us Part, by Carter BrownEasily my favorite mysteries by Carter Brown are those starring Lieutenant Al Wheeler, “temporarily” attached to the office of Sheriff Lavers. In Until Temptation Do Us Part, as so often happens, Wheeler is summoned in the middle of the night to the scene of a murder. The victim is a local real estate magnate at odds with his wife and, though reputable in the local community, not well-liked by all. A moderate number of twists, some self-deprecating humor on Wheeler’s part, and a reasonably complex mystery make for a middling entry in the series. Mildly recommended.
