Can Manory figure out the identity of the murderer before the bodies start dropping? 'Goodnight Irene' is a locked-room murder mystery that will have you guessing until the final reveal.Review Goodnight Irene by James Scott Byrnside is an excellent example of a locked-room whodunnit, reminiscent of Agatha Christie at her most devious. 4 out of 4 stars  *                                                                                     --Helen Combe - OnlineBookClub.org*
