Verna Reid

A body has been washed up by the Whirlpool in the Niagara River. At first, it is thought to be a suicide. However, further investigation proves otherwise. Anne Morrow was not particularly well-liked by those who knew her, and these include her ex-husband, Ronald Dyson, currently dating Jenny; Lewis Bryant, the radio station's program director and Anne's supervisor; and Elspeth Newcombe, a junior writer at the station. Anne had a young lover, Francis Turner, and he and the murdered woman's cleaning lady, Mary Cook, are the only ones apparently upset by Anne's death. Murder Shrieks Out is a brisk and suspenseful tale of wrongs being righted, the guilty punished - not necessarily by the law -- and love in unexpected places.
