I think Goulart does a great job capturing the Groucho character and the feel of the times. I'm not a mystery person so I don't really care about the plot. I liked the Lillian Jackson Braun "Cat Who ..." mysteries for the same reasons--pleasant characters to spend some time with.Hackenbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15507810776309048794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117013339527801809.post-71279973711739373622018-04-02T21:00:16.396-05:002018-04-02T21:00:16.396-05:00Nice book collection but they are all marxed.

OK OK I have the first two I think, my older brother had both when they were first printed, I think my copies are later editions, unless I was able to pilfer his copies. I recall around the same time about mid 1970s the same publisher produced a W.C.Fields book or two in the same style. I might have that as well, or my brother did. Those Groucho mysteries look interesting. I have always loved Al Hirshfeld's illustrations and try to count all the Ninas.CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117013339527801809.post-40523352853912365002018-04-02T20:50:23.827-05:002018-04-02T20:50:23.827-05:00:):)Hackenbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15507810776309048794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117013339527801809.post-80109421389223341532018-04-02T20:46:04.205-05:002018-04-02T20:46:04.205-05:00"If I get any closer, I'll be behind you...."If I get any closer, I'll be behind you."Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117013339527801809.post-3897198211970750262018-04-02T20:34:24.543-05:002018-04-02T20:34:24.543-05:00The jackets list the illustrator as Hal Just.
