Indonesian Homicide is Creative, if Nothing Else
How is a young woman poisoned with cyanide in the middle of the day in a cafe in Jakarta? Let me put it a different way – how is a young woman poisoned with cyanide in the middle of the day in a cafe in Jakarta and the person that bought the coffee and sat with it for an hour waiting for the dead girl to drink it isn’t Suspect #1?! I’ve tried to find some details about this young woman – Marina – I don’t think she was an actress or a model or a singer or any other type of celebrity – there must be a very limited number of people in the earth that would have wanted her dead. Where is Encyclopedia Brown when you need him?
