Detective Kennedy and his sidekick Walter Jameson are called in żeby a District Attorney to look into the murder of an actress in the middle of shooting a movie called „The Black Terror”. What follows is figuring out the puzzling trail of a calculating killer. Kennedy performs detailed tests in his laboratory and he eventually finds what caused the death of the film star, but he must still go through lots of adventures until he finds the murderer as well. The book is highly entertaining for those who are already familiar with Reeve’s novels. If you liked this one, maybe you will want to read other Craig Kennedy stories – there are more than 80 of them and they are all as exciting and well-written as „The Film Mystery”.
