Confer & Concur

The glamour wore off after the first hour.  Maybe Jill St. John would do a lot better here than I seem to.  At one point, the meaning of the word agent became the other meaning with secret attached. I mean, who wouldn't want to know the life story of a dead writer's first wife?  Even if the story mainly takes place in the sub tropics, the narrative remains clean and relatively free of bugs, that is, until the part about How To Kill A Teacher.  Then things turn dicey and no mystery is revealed except some bones and teeth.
