The William Powell and Myrna Loy Murder Case (Thorndike Large Print Cloak and Dagger Series)

Rating:
Summary: Memoirs of a Madam
Review: Baxt is back with another addition to his celebrity murder case books. In this one we see Myrna Loy and William Poweell recreating their roles from the movie, "The Thin Man", and joining forces with Herb Villon and his Hazel at yet another celebrity murder case. Like all other books in the series, this one is also a satire, and Baxt does a good job of recreating the glitz and glamour of 1930's Hollywood. If you can get past the wild repartee and the incessant talking of the stars, this isn't that bad a book. A Hollywood madam has let it be known that she is going to publish her little black book, and there are a number of famous names that don't want that to happen. And one at least is prepared to murder in order to avoid having their name appear in print somewhere.
