One Woman. Tiffany Thayer. New York: William Morrow and Co., 1933. First edition. Original dust jacket.“Not a shocker – nor yet pallid fare for the uninitiated. Closer to THIRTEEN MEN than to anything else Tiffany Thayer has done. And once again evidence of the man’s originality and ability to weave a good yarn. The style is usually good reporting, occasionally sheer tabloid stuff, sometimes verging on hysteria, but it literally sizzles with life. It’s a rapid fire story of a reporter’s curiosity and where it led him, when he picked up the address book belonging to a dead woman, and proceeded to investigate the notations contained therein. It led him to gangsters, bankers, prize fighters, pawn shops, call women and eventually cost him his job and his life. Watch your step in selling or renting. Should gain him new readers.” – Kirkus Review -- source link
