Interesting you mention the dialogue as Wheeler went on to have a major career as a Broadway playwright in the 60s and 70s and author of the books of several musical by Stephen Sondheim (he also worked on the screenplay for the movie version of CABARET).

I read one of the mysteries written under the Jonathan Stagge pseudonym and liked it a lot. I'm hoping that Murder at Cambridge written as Q. Patrick will be good as well.Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-18649350768993083062013-04-04T16:22:46.641-04:002013-04-04T16:22:46.641-04:00I'ms orry you didn't like this one.

Well I guess you didn't so that's okay :-)<br /><br />I just finished the second book, Puzzle for Players, but haven't written a review for it yet. I enjoyed it, though I'm not sure how much Duluth should get credit for solving the case.<br /><br />I guess I will have to wait and see until I read the third one.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786139533776263328noreply@blogger.com
