Another fun Mystery by Boucher.

First chapter was full of happy, peppy theatre types meeting by chance for the first time...and then ended with a shocking collapse. So, I'm hooked. The funny thing is, the style is very Thorne Smith, but as applied to The Paper Dragon. I have not roamed all that far from flirty, flighty dialogue, or struggling playwrights - but this time, there's murder too.

Update! Plans have changed! I've gone from toying with the idea of no USA authors for 4 years, 2025-2028, to seriously considering it as the ultimate tough challenge. I don't think I could do it, but what this means right now is that my focus will be on all the books by US authors I own now, and trying to read as many as possible until January 1st. Wish me luck!
