A man plummets between the cold walls of a city building — but was it an accident, a suicide, or something far more sinister? Or Was He Pushed? is a taut crime mystery by prolific American author Richard Lockridge, best known for his work on the beloved Mr. and Mrs. North series and his solo detective novels featuring characters like Captain Merton Heimrich of the New York State Police. In this gripping whodunit, Lockridge constructs a web of suspicion, motive, and deception around a single fatal fall, challenging both his detective and the reader to untangle truth from carefully constructed lies. Lockridge's writing is characterised by sharp, economical prose, keenly observed social dynamics, and an understated wit that keeps the pages turning at a relentless pace. His mysteries are firmly rooted in mid-20th-century American life, where respectability masks dark secrets and the most dangerous people are often the most charming. Or Was He Pushed? stands as a testament to Lockridge's mastery of the classic crime form — and the chilling final answer to its question will linger long after the last page is turned.
