Rick finds himself in line to solve a locked-room (well, locked-island) mystery in this intriguing thriller where the victim apparently dies twice. It’s a textbook example of how to create a murder mystery – create seven suspects, each with an eccentricity and each with a motive to kill. Invent an intriguing way for the victim to die with an unusual weapon. Brew a few real clues with a few red herrings – share your time equally amongst the suspects with occasional summaries from the investigator so everyone can follow. Build up to a hellfire chase scene and an explosive finish. Rick pulls it off superbly - job done!
Intrigued by the concept of driverless automatic flying cars with programmable destinations, I discovered they already exist – in Dubai! Another successful Rick Random prediction – I make that 137 in a row.
Can’t help feeling Miss Jacks deserves a bigger role – what a stunner!

The uncredited artist tries a few times to "do a Ron Turner" on pages 1 and 8, and again on the lower panels on pages 23 and 61. It's a stalwart effort but the rest of his work doesn't quite match up to it. Still he does try to distract us with a series of mini-skirted lovelies, so it's not all bad! ;-)

Since #90 was September, and this (#91) was November, any idea why October was skipped?

According to french review Hop! n°127 (p.62)
the unknown artist is Terry Patrick, Ron Turner had just done 2 1/2 pages

Quite a mix-up of artists. It looks as if Bill Lacey did the Rick Randoms and a few other heads (eg page 7), and Ron Turner did the rockets and the banger on page 23.
