Nicely written. not quite Golden Age mystery -- written and set in 1970's -- but with that feeling. Intelligent detective tackles the death of someone who sounds like it was a deserved ending. Nothing special, but an entertaining way to spend a few hours.The Inspector seems to have a superior knowledge of human nature which he uses to evaluate each of the suspects.
