The Murder On The Mall: The Mystery of the Death of the Pornographer by Stanley Yokell begins with the finding of a dead body in a city mall, the body of the owner of Baddyflicks Studio. Also, the studio, the main center of his business, is found to be gutted by fire. Marie Quizno, the smart police chief of the city, begins an investigation and exposes the possibility that the victim was running a business involving pornographic material, including performances by underage children. Many of the victims are teenage girls, and further inquiry leads to identifying one of the affected parents as the originator of the fire, and possibly of the murder. Finding that there is enough evidence to book those parents for arson, they are brought before the court, but the jury’s decision is unexpected.
The Murder On The Mall: The Mystery of the Death of the Pornographer by Stanley Yokell is a suspenseful drama. The professional competence of the city’s police chief in conducting investigations, as well as that of the defense counsel in formulating the court room tactics, is shown with credible brilliance. The part played by others in the story, the children, their parents and other characters, are also kept relevant to the plot. I can therefore confidently say this book is a realistic depiction of present society, given the nature of news that quite regularly appears in our media. This is a good read, an engaging and entertaining work, and it fully grabbed my attention till the very end.
