3. V.M. Burns' "Bark if it's Murder"

Excellent author!

Was reading "Think Fast, Mr. Peters, by Kaminsky

Pretty funny. Prolific author, with 60+ books to his credit.

Peter Lorre isn't exactly everybody's idea of a leading man. Tell that to one Mrs. Sheldon Minck, who, her distraught husband reports, has run off with the big screen's bantamweight heavy with the haunted eyes. And since this is Hollywood during the wartime madness of the forties, where nothing is exactly what it seems, it's the perfect case for Toby Peters. Martin's Press.

Above from my library's web site. This one is set in the 1940s, always fun to read about an era when my parents were young adults. 😉

Ty for this thread!
