I’m new at this, but here goes.
It was an unusually big week for me. I don’t normally get them like this. These, for the record, are all bought and paid for by me. I do occasionally get books from publishers. Not a great deal though. The large haul here is because some were ordered a good while back and just happened to arrive this week.
Columbo: The Dean’s Death – Alfred Lawrence:
The dean of students at a small college is murdered, as usual, by killers we see, the Prsident and his twenty year old lover. 
The fun is watching Columbo trip them up. From 1975.
