Actors make this routine script interesting.
22 December 2015
This mystery centers around a written book by a young female writer, Deborah Dearborn. Ms Dearborn wrote a book from stories that a young man, John Carew, told her about an evil person named Stephanie. John did not reveal that the evil woman was a family member. The book becomes a best-seller when all of the sudden the woman that the book is about, Stephanie Carew, comes looking for Dearborn wanting to sue her. But because Stephanie is just as evil as the book claims, she wants the young Dearborn to sign a movie contract and give her the money. But during the evening the evil Stephanie Carew is found drowned in a swimming pool.

Now with a slew of circumstantial evidence, the young Ms Dearborn is arrested for murder. Hamilton Burger will have a nice case as he puts witness after witness on the stand that will convince a normal person that Dearborn is guilty. But leave it to Perry to to finally crack the case in open court.

A rather routine mystery that was made better by some nice actors in roles. Douglas Fowley, John Van Dreelen, Jean Carson and Ryan O'Neal lead the cast that makes the routine become exceptional. Good watch.
