Novela entretenida, pero la edición española es de vergüenza: erratas para dar y regalar que no solo te sacan de la lectura sino que en ocasiones dificultan el entender lo que se está leyendo. Vamos, que la edición es de 1 estrella, y porque no hay menos. ( ) One of the earliest American bibliomystery novels (published in 1938) completely set in the bookselling world. A bookseller and his wife try to solve the murder of a crooked colleague who framed a man for the theft of some highly valuable books still missing two years after the crime. Highly reminiscent of Nick and Nora Charles in their movie incarnations. A writing style that is completely borrowed from the 1930s screwball movies. It’s a bit overdone, in my opinion, all empty wisecracks, lots of drinking and partying amid a violent murder and bookselling chicanery that should perhaps be taken a lot more seriously than the characters seem to be doing. Lots of characters, too! Kurnitz’s first novel under this pseudonym which led to a successful screenplay writing career – something he obviously wanted. In fact, he would go on to write two movie sequels with this husband/wife detective team as well as two of the Thin Man movie sequels. Also noteworthy as the second novel to win the $1000 Red Badge Prize from Dodd Mead in their annual mystery writing contest that lasted for about seven years or so. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
