Nick Hadley-Jones has always landed on his feet. He has been told he is amoral, irresponsible, a womaniser, and even once a psychopath. This time his heavy gambling debts have led to him making a a drug run on the continent, on the understanding that it will wipe out his debt to Tony, the very nasty owner of the Red Slipper nightclub in London.

Nick decides to store the suitcase containing the drugs in the storage room in the basement of his apartment block until Tony gives him delivery instructions. But he never gets to carry out those instructions, as he is shot dead at a wedding reception the next day. Enter John Sansom a private eye engaged by Nick's father to find out why his son was killed.

While the story is interesting enough, THE SUITCASE KILLINGS is marred by loose plotting and minimal character development. Miles Tripp (1923-2000) began writing in 1952 and this is his second to last novel. He wrote 14 other John Sansom titles over a 27 year period, and perhaps I would have enjoyed THE SUITCASE KILLINGS more if I had been familiar with earlier titles.

Well..I can see why no one else has this book in their library!! While it had a few twists and turns that I was not expecting this was your typical British murder mystery. Right down to the get away, cottage, prude wife and affair having husband, this had all of the classic elements. A short read, I really was not thrilled by the story, and was more excited about turning a page to merely get through the book than what the words had to say next. Not highly recommended.

John Sampson (overweight and reluctantly dieting P.I.), becomes a lodger to trap a man suspected of video-taping lodgers sleeping with his wife (which he helps arrange) and then blackmailing them. The first husband of the antique shop owner, Frank, was presumed killed in a car accident, but has reappeared.
