So, we have Alvin Morlock, a second rate professor at a second rate college in central Massachusetts (the fictional Ludlow College). It seems Morlock went off to Providence, RI with a teaching buddy for a spot of "fun" (i.e. drinking and womanizing) over Christmas/New Year's break. Alvin takes up with a young woman named Louise. Realizing that she's no longer a tasty, young thing, Louise is looking for more security than a series of good times on the weekends. So, she contrives to get Alvin to marry her. The marriage doesn't go well, in part because Louise is a profligate spender. Eventually, Louise dies in some manner, and the investigators think Alvin murdered her to get rid of his slatternly spouse.
The book switches between transcripts of court proceedings and narratives of what actually was happening in the lives of the characters. It was a sort of interesting way to tell the story. It's clearly not fancy literature, but merely pulp to while away a few hours. Is serves the whiling away purpose admirably.
