Perfectly entertaining but far from mind-bending murder tale. It works on the reversal of the premise of Camus's THE STRANGER: if a man doesn't cry at his mother's funeral, surely he will later be found guilty of murder. That is to say: if a good-time Charlie were to commit murder, he would probably have a good chance of getting away with it.

Emily Bronte, who was a fan probably more of Poe than King David, quotes this title/phrase in [b:Wuthering Heights|6185|Wuthering Heights|Emily Brontë|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388212715s/6185.jpg|1565818], so I had to give it a read. I swear, everything I read lately leads to something else I have to read. Anyhow, this is a lovely detective story with a nice, macabre Poe-esque twist at the end. Even if you see it coming, the ending does still have a surprise for you, and it's highly entertaining. I might have to add this phrase into my quote repotoire ... in a nice, raspy, creepy voice: "Thou art the man."
