Title: Engrossing period noir set in San Francisco
Review: For those who enjoy a literary style as smooth and sweet as the legendary swing bands of the forties, here's an engrossing new mystery series to discover. Edgar winning author, John Morgan Wilson, teams up with society bandleader, Peter Duchin, to create an evocative series set in the world of the high society movers and shakers of 1963. Like Mr. Duchin himself, the protagonist is part of the social set that includes celebs of the time from DiMaggio and the Kennedys--a unique and clever milleau for dramas high and low as murder follows murder, and our protag is pursued as well.I enjoyed the bright and complex characterizations and the intricate, noirish mystery plot as much as the authors' stylish, clear phrasings--in all, a piece of tantalizing music set into novel form.This mystery is a winner. You will be glad to discover this series early.
