BRAVO! FINALLY A VOICE OF REASON. Women: mothers, toys, slaves, punching bags. What a sad story. ROBERT A.M. COPPENRATH Guttenberg, New Jersey...
THIS IS NOT what Harry Elkins Widener's mother had in mind. Since they're removing books that haven't been checked out in five years, won't they eventually haul away the volumes of Harry's book collection that haven't been touched for 50?

There are other rewards in this low- rent thriller. Guttenberg is no one's nominee for an '80s Cary Grant, but his frat-boy smile freezes nicely when he realizes he is suspected of murder. Until she must act the trollop to entice the killer, McGovern makes for an agreeably matter-of-fact heroine. If only there were a little sleek skin on the bones of this plot...
