Groucho Marx, Private Eye Don't let the other reviews scare you off. There are 6 books in the series, and all of them are great. Ron Goulart really knows Hollywood in the 30's and 40's. His literary, film, and radio allusions really add to the fun. The repartee between the characters is snappy and funny, especially when compared to the boring soap opera drivel in most modern mysteries. Also Ron Goulart avoids the common last refuge of poor authors; lots of swear words and detailed sexual encounters. Instead he provides a solid set of mysteries that make you wish there were more. How about it, Ron? When are you going to release number 7 . . ?
