Two-Thirds of a Ghost, a Dr. Basil Willing Mystery, by Helen McCloy<br><br>&quot;One of the most enjoyable whodunits of this or any season. Reason: Its gorgeous satire on the book publishing business and the people in it or on the fringes.&quot;&mdash;Columbus Dispatch<br><br>Amos Cottle was a valuable property&mdash;a first-rate novelist who produced four best sellers in four years. He had to be protected. From himself (he was an ex-alcoholic). And from his wife (she was a gold-digging siren and she spelled trouble). His publisher and his agent thought Amos&#39;s problems were solved when they clawed the beautiful Vera out of his hair and shipped her off to Hollywood. But they were wrong. For there came a night when Vera returned. That was the night Amos had to have a drink. It was too bad he never lived to sober up.<br><br>&quot;One of the most entertaining mysteries of the year.&quot;&mdash;Denver Sunday Post<br>&quot;Cleverly complex.&quot;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews<br>&quot;Extremely enjoyable&quot;&mdash;New York Herald Tribune<br>&quot;Tricky and top-notch.&quot;&mdash;Chattanooga Times<br>&quot;Excellent.&quot;&mdash;Raleigh News & Observer
