Produktbeschreibungen

From Kirkus Reviews

His heartless producers have renamed Groucho Marx's radio show, dug him up a new sponsorMullens Pudding, which brags about coming in five flavorful flavorsand stuck him with a horrid supporting actress, Polly Pilgrim, who plays his daughter on the air and his scourge everywhere else. Sadly, Polly's cyanide repartee is swiftly humbled when her actress mother Frances London is picked up for killing her recent beau, Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Russell Benninger. Will Groucho and his scriptwriter, ex-crime reporter Frank Denby, buck some threatening local mobsters and the equally corrupt Bayside cops and get Frances out of jail? Can a duck walk? In no time at all, Groucho and Frank establish that Benninger was up to his roving eyes in drugs, that he'd run afoul of some pretty tough characters, and that Groucho is perfectly capable of wising off even at gunpoint. (Frank's girlfriend, cartoonist Jane Danner, is just as witty, and Mullens Maiden Victoria St. John's ramblings add a touch of Dada to the proceedings.) As in Groucho Marx, Master Detective (1998), though, the tired, busy plot seems to have come from a bunch of lower-paid writers than the ones who wrote the dialogue, and Goulart's constant habit of splitting up Groucho and his alleged amanuensis seems like a lazy way to get around the problems of first-person narration. Still, it's refreshing to spend another couple of hours in 1938 Hollywood, where the Third Reich is a distant rumble and the most minor characters, from whores to countermen, identify themselves as actors. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Wears thin 4. März 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The first Groucho/detective novel was only so-so, and this second attempt is not as good. It wears a little thin, the mindless wisecracks. The Groucho persona of the Marx Brothers movies was certainly zany, but there was no serious jeopardy implied. It just doesn't work, somehow, in a detective novel, no matter how hard Mr. Goulart tries.

Good but disappointing 20. Januar 2000
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I anxiously awaited this 2nd book in the Groucho Marx mystery series and only recently found the time to sit down and read it. After 3 or 4 chapters I realized this is not as good as Mr. Goulart's 1st Groucho book-Groucho Marx, Master Detective-every line on every page was golden. This, however, is slow moving and not as well written as the previous book. It's almost as though it was dashed off in a hurry. The editing itself is very poor, I found several typos that made little or no sense. I hope that the 3rd Groucho book brings back that pizazz found in the 1st book. Get it? Got it? Good.

Groucho Marx, Private Eye

Don't let the other reviews scare you off. There are 6 books in the series, and all of them are great. Ron Goulart really knows Hollywood in the 30's and 40's. His literary, film, and radio allusions really add to the fun. The repartee between the characters is snappy and funny, especially when compared to the boring soap opera drivel in most modern mysteries. Also Ron Goulart avoids the common last refuge of poor authors; lots of swear words and detailed sexual encounters. Instead he provides a solid set of mysteries that make you wish there were more. How about it, Ron? When are you going to release number 7 . . ?
