Review # 1 was written on 2015-12-22 00:00:00 Christopher Hart "The Corpse Steps Out" is sort of a surrealistic screwball comedy-mystery with lots of clever banter between the likable and hard-drinking characters, and some clever and somewhat bizarre plotting. Stylistically it definitely has a 1940's vibe going on, very reminiscent of the Hollywood screwball comedy films of that era.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-03-09 00:00:00 Joseph Stynes Part of the Jake Justus/Helene Brand/John J. Malone series. A great example of the moribund art of the screwball mystery. Jake Justus is a press agent. His main client, a radio star, finds a corpse. This corpse just happens to belong to her former beau, then blackmailer. The corpse disappears, the blackmail evidence is not found, and the radio star is in a real jam. Jake calls Malone, the crooked lawyer to help, and Jake's paramour Helene, just happens to be in town as well. Quite a caper. They just don't write them like this anymore.
