Shipwrecks, Diaries, & Survivors

Date with a Dead Man was one of the first few of the ghost-written Michal Shayne novels. It's a solid fifties-era mystery involving a shipwreck at sea, the survivors on a tiny raft, and a wealthy family and worth reading. However, compared to early Shayne novels, this one was a bit light on actual action, lacked the ever-present hoodlums, and didn't have that mean streets feel. And, The story takes a little bit to get going. ( )
