A review of Fast Company 1938
Fast Company features the detecting duo Jole and Gerda Sloan and was designed to fill in the gaps between the popular Thin Man movies. It was also to test the male lead (Melvin Douglas) to see if he could be a replacement for William Powell as Nick Charles in the Thin Man movies. since Powell had just had serious surgery and it wasn't certain that he could return to the role.

What does a woman from 2014 and murder from 1934 have in common? Read Doorway to Murder and find out. When Olivia sees a man framed in the door to her bedroom hall during a blizzard in 2014. She at first thinks someone has broken into her house, but suddenly the figure vanishes. Meanwhile, during a 1934 blizzard, a bank president is murdered in the vault. At first, these two things couldn't be further apart, but a strange timewarp will change all that. With an opening reminiscent of the great classic mysteries, this book is a must-read.

Juneteenth Special Black Mystery Writers of the Past Ishmael Reed and Clarence Major
I'm wrapping up this year's Juneteenth special in the 1970s with Ishmael Reed's Mumbo Jumbo and Clarence Major's Reflex and Bone Structure. Both these men experimented with detective fiction creating the anti-detective and taking the books into the mystic realm through double consciousness and metaphysics. But like the writers of the past, they used their words as a form of activism, speaking out against the violence and class issues they saw in their times.

A Review of Christian Hayes The Fat Detective
I found The Fat Detective while browsing Amazon and the concept intrigued me. A man named Eugene Blake quits his job as an accountant to pursue the fantasy life of a private detective. To bad all he has to go on are 1940's books he read in school, a coat he got at a second hand store and no clue what the job is really like.

Monday Review: 1964 movie Murder Ahoy
Today I am reviewing the 1964 movie Murder Ahoy. This is the 4th to feature Margaret Rutherford as Agatha Christie's famed lady detective Miss Jane Marple. and in my honest opinion it's the worst of the four. Margaret is great as Miss Marple, but the scriptwriter and director veered too farm from the original spirit of the character. They made her a chemist as well as a sleuth when she figures out what poison was used to kill the first victim.
