Summary: Wonderful fun.
Review: Society bandleader Peter Duchin and Edgar Award winning author John Morgan Wilson team up and give us a smoothly written little mystery in "Blue Moon."Set in the San Francisco of 1963, they blend history with fiction in an action packed noirish plot. Celebrities and pop icons of the day from Joe DiMaggio to Andy Warhol---Jackie Kennedy to Jack Kerouac---Truman Capote to Willie Mays pop up along with a major part for Herb Caen. It has the feel of Archy McNally meeting up with The Thin Man---snappy dialogue, complex plot, lotsa characters with agendas, many cocktails, dead bodies and an alto sax playing San Francisco Inspector who sits in with the protagonist's (Philip Damon) band. It is an excellent amateur sleuth whodunit peopled with intriguing characters. The atmosphere of sixties San Francisco is truly captured. There are many laughs along the way. "Blue Moon" is big fun.

Summary: A Good One !!
Review: This was a good book-- I especially liked the references to famous people who appeared through out the story. The story moved right along, and the ending was satisfactory. Usually I don't read who-done-its-, but this one was very interesting.
