Books like Untidy murder by Frances Louise Davis Lockridge
When Dorian Hunt, a woman with a photographic memory, visits the offices of the magazine _Esprit_ to deliver her drawings, she does not expect to be involved in a series of events involving death, kidnapping, fire, threats, and a wild ride as an unwilling passenger in the trunk of a car driven by two sinister and hopelessly misguided thugs. But because she has seen too much when the art editor falls or is pushed out of a window to his death, she is snatched by the thugs and taken to New Jersey. The thugs don't know it, but in private life Dorian is the wife of Lt. Bill Weigand of the New York City Police Department – and now Bill, accompanied by Pam and Jerry North, are the hunters who follow the trail with some difficulty – and a couple of near misses! The twist? Dorian's husband is not as innocent as he seems.
