Summary

Ten stories featuring the Chicago attorney-turned-sleuth from “the grand dame of mystery mixed with screwball comedy” (Ed Gorman).

From suburban cocktail parties to music halls to the precarious ledge of a high-rise, Chicago Attorney John J. Malone is willing to take on any case - as long as it’ll pay his bar tab.

In this 10-story collection of murder most offbeat, a wedding anniversary party turns deadly for an unlucky housewife, a client’s supposed innocence hangs by a thread after a suicide attempt, a forlorn ballad may contain the key to a mystery, a relatively harmless lady wrestler gets pinned for cracking her husband’s skull, an old flame’s diary reveals a poisonous past, and a surprising obituary forces Malone to investigate his own suspicious death.

Nice set of stories

Good old fashion detective stories, best listened to at 80% speed because the narrator reads far too quickly

A real find!

I'd not heard of this author before, so I'm grateful to Audiable for including the books here. I thoroughly enjoyed the stories .It's like Damon Runyon meets Raymond Chandler! The narration was terrific too.Really brought characters to life,made the most of comic scenes. This set of short stories were full of puzzles ,twists and turns ,likable characters. I look forward to listening to more in the series.
