I’ve read this book before, and I know that I have it here somewhere, but I just can’t find it. So I downloaded an ebook from Anna’s Archive, which turned out to be a much better edition than most ebooks — few typos and almost no typographical errors.
The plot is totally preposterous, but this is one of those comedy mysteries, so that’s fine. The main point of the book is to cram as much bickering between two silent-era movie stars into the book as possible, and it achieves that magnificently.
So it’s fun, and it’s a bit odd that it’s impossible to buy an ebook of this legitimately. But I mean — it’s a trifle. And the mystery itself is *rolls eyes*.
This Goodreads review should win some sort of reward:

*slow clap*
