A Satire that is a murder story,
By
This review is from: The Mae West Murder Case (Hardcover)
This book more than any of the others in Baxt's Hollywood series is satirical. It perfectly describes Miss Mae West as she was in the 30's - outrageous, campy and surprisingly generous. She was a very warm human being, and totally aware of what she was and what she wasn't. After all she created herself and marketed herself in a way that few actresses did in that day and age. In this book there are a series of murders of Mae West impersonators, and Detective Villon works with Mae to try to find the killer before the real Mae West became a victim. The crescendo builds up until it culminates in a bizarre Halloween party held at an infamous nightclub. More murders occur, but Mae manages to avoid it, and then gets ready to set up the denouement in the most curious place you'll ever find.
