bookshelves: 1940s, american, murder-mystery

Murder mystery in Golden Age Hollywood among an Algonquin set type of group of witty, arty, deeply unlikeable people.

This was an interesting read, very well researched and a well drawn setting, but honestly it had the kind of feeling that I often get from witty Golden Age movies: there's a little bit too much cleverness and not quite enough emotion for it to be entirely satisfying. That's very much a matter of taste, though.
