Description:
"The Price of Murder" by John D. MacDonald (1916-1986) is a 1957
suspense novel with an interesting format. The book chains through a
half dozen characters, beginning with a college professor who clawed his
way out of the slum, to the parole officer looking for the professor's
criminal brother, to the professor's wife, to the brother, to a lawyer,
and a cop. Each has their own history and point of view. The ensemble
clashes over missing ransom money and blackmail, which leads to multiple
murders.
MacDonald draws interesting characters, giving them motivations and back stories. They aren't merely
cardboard cutouts who exist only to move the plot along. The characters clash and only a few can get what they want. The book shows few signs of its age; the emotions are timeless.
A well-crafted book by an excellent writer.
