Описание:
Michael Dundas, who combines a flair for detective work with amazing success as a couturier, delves into a mystery with roots laid three generations in the past. The Landreth family closet undoubtedly held a skeleton along with the rest of the old things found in it, just as the envelope with the cryptic figures on it carried the motive, method and solution of the lucky lady's murder. How did two feathers from that same lady's hat land in an unused garden, and what, above all, was the antique Dubosq which started the whole chain of murders? Virginia Rath has based her story on an unusual and fascinating episode in the development of American economic life. The author, in a modern, entertaining story has used facts to give body and color to fiction, a clever feat and extremely well done.
Death of a Lucky Lady was published in 1940.

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: Poetry. DIRGE FOR AN IMAGINARY WORLD is the winner of the 2011 Able Muse Book Award, selected by Andrew Hudgins. These are poems of breathtaking craftsmanship that find inspiration in the simplicity of the quotidian, or the perplexity of the grand. Smith is equally at ease musing about Neanderthals or God as he is with a ballet exam or highway medians. These poems of personal and universal introspection are filled with grace, and sparkle with abundant intelligence and wit. This masterful debut collection is an event to celebrate.
In this deeply impressive debut volume of poetry, DIRGE FOR AN IMAGINARY WORLD, Matthew Buckley Smith delivers a remarkable range of deft formal schemes, temporal movements, and varied settings. We encounter sonnets, couplets, quatrains, Sapphics, sestets and so forth written with a slick, delightful merging of technical expertise and smooth contemporary rhythms. The range of subjects is equally and as charmingly eclectic, from Neanderthals, Dante, Vermeer, for instance, to College Football Mascots, Highway Mediums, and Spring Ballet Exams. Mental and linguistic agility generously challenge the reader in poem after poem.--Greg Williamson, from the Foreward

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:
Virginia Rath has, in the character of Michael Dundas and his wife Valerie, created as intriguing a couple as have appeared between the covers of a mystery story since the now historic The Thin Man. And Death Breaks the Ring is another step upward in Mrs. Rath's steady climb to the top of the mystery field.
In this story Valerie's plaguing and persistent desire to see more and better mountain scenery involves Michael in a chain of murder that leads from a mountain-resort hotel to a dramatic conclusion at a fantastic costume party on a California ranch. Michael had no difficulty in ascertaining that both murders were the result of involved relationships existing between three San Francisco families. That was apparent. But the antagonism of these families created an impregnable wall through which he could not penetrate. When, however, he had interpreted the cryptic message on the sheet of paper attached to the three fishing flies, he had made the first small gap in a wall which was eventually to crumble at his feet. His interpretation of this message, plus his psychological understanding of the irrational behavior of people in love, were the means whereby Michael in the end brought to heel a murderer who was tangible proof of the trite remark that all is not what it seems.
The amazing conclusion of this story is only one of the many features of an engrossing and puzzling book--a "must" item for every mystery fan.
Death Breaks the Ring was published in 1941.

Описание:
"Dragged reluctantly to an art tea by his pretty wife, Michael Dundas, the famous couturier who indulges a fancy for sleuthing on the side, meets a stranger in one of his own models who seems ill at ease. She is distinctly upset at sight of a picture of the sand dunes and coming out of a faint, mumbles words that puzzle and intrigue Michael. When this same Lydia Courney is murdered that same night, apparently on her way to see him, her strange mutterings take on significance.
"But while Lydia's cryptic words do not seem as meaningful, perhaps, as her friend Marcia's denying she's a nurse, or Sally's stealing of a key, they lead Michael finally to the unriddling of what is one of Virginia Rath's liveliest, most complicated plots." (Salt Lake City, Utah, Tribune, April 12, 1942)
