Описание:
Murder with a Theme Song is a most notable production by an author whose The Dark Cavalier gained a wide and enthusiastic audience. In this book are included Michael Dundas and Valerie Sheridan of The Dark Cavalier, and Rocky and Eleanor Allen, of the author's earlier books. Mrs. Rath has handled these four characters in such a skillful manner that no one of them outgrows the rest in emphasis, and yet all four play the usual role of hero and heroine. The book, while basically a sound, perplexing mystery story, is replete with characterizations, dialogue, and situations that would ornament a serious novel.
An elderly nurse who tried to drown her sorrows, or her fears, in cocktails, drew Michael and Valerie into the case, and a year-old kidnapping which involved persons living in Rocky's territory was responsible for the Allens' interest. Together Michael and Rocky pursued the murderer whose presence was betrayed by the tune "Alouette," and who felt that withered tiger lilies were a fitting floral decoration for slit hot water bottles.
This book ranks high on every count: suspense, drama, humor, action, and good story-telling.
Murder with a Theme Song was published in 1939.

Описание:
"Emergence of Virginia Rath into a top-ranking place among writers of mystery yarns has for some time been a source of pride among her many friends in this area. Those friends are now given a chance to pursue a murderer in the academic hillsides of Berkeley and a proper chase it is.
"Into Berkeley, on a falsely advertised second honeymoon, rides one Ian Maclean, victim of a cruelly self-centered wife and a cousin of none other than Michael Dundas whose suave manner of solving crime puzzles is known to thousands of readers.
"The murder of Ian's wife shocks none in the strange assortment of Berkeley folk who were in the neighborhood and calls upon all of the Dundas skill to save him. The story gives us a complex group of persons, some side excursions into scandal and a skillfully handled plot. It deserves to be checked off as a 'best' of the season." (Oakland, California, Sun, October 11, 1942)

Описание:
It has been six years since Rowena Talcott walked out of her San Francisco house and vanished into thin air. Then the scent of jasmine, a voice humming a song, and a shadowy figure in a dark hallway seem to indicate that her ghost is walking. Is it Rowena, herself, come back? Or is someone in the household trying to frighten Christopher Talcott's fianc e, Anice?
One man who might have the answer is killed before Chris can reach him, and Michael and Valerie Dundas, amateur sleuths, find themselves in a mystery that grows ever deeper and more dangerous. Together with their friend, Inspector Prevost, they investigate the riddle of the private detective with the dubious reputation, the curiously unprofessional burglary, and the conflicting motives of a handful of suspects who are so few in number that the murderer should be obvious. But, instead, the suspense mounts and more murder follows, as each false clue only makes the solution of Rowena's strange secret more difficult. And it is not until Michael Dundas realizes the full meaning of the shroud he himself designed that he is able to set a trap for a clever and surprising killer.
A Shroud for Rowena was putlished in 1947.

Описание:
"Her name was Gertie Malinowki and she hailed from the wrong side of the tracks when she asked Michael Dundas for a job. Voice culture and chi-chi clothes made the original Gertie unrecognizable as movie starlet Greta Mallon when she swept into Michael's office during an 'incognito' trip to San Francisco.
"Greta did not mean her expressed desire to 'get away from it all' for a few days to be taken literally and mean getting away from it forever--but that is what happened when she left her own somewhat riotous open house cocktail party for a somewhat mysterious unspecified date.
"For Michael, who combines his high style dress designing business with an avocation for sleuthing, matters are complicated by the absence of his favorite members of the police force. He enters the case, not as a cooperative helper, but as a likely suspect whom Inspector Hoyt would like nothing better than to clap in jail. Gertie--or Greta's--past pursues her to and even beyond her death and leads Michael, along with his trailer turned pal, "Sam" Weller, into parts of San Francisco that are never mentioned by the Chamber of Commerce.
"Virginia Rath knows her town to the last cobblestone and makes it--sinister, storied, or beautiful--add color to a plot in which Michael, the two-fisted he-man dress designer with a temper and a sense of humor equally cocked with no safety device, pulls no punches, but lots of surprises out of his hat." (Oakland, California, Tribune, December 7, 1947)
A Dirge for Her was published in 1947.
