Mystic Mah Jong: A Dorothy Parker Mystery

by Agata Stanford

Overview

New York City, October 1926, and baseball fans across the nation are glued to their radios, while New Yorkers are packing into the new Yankee Stadium to watch Babe Ruth knock another ball out of the park in the World Series games against the St. Louis Cardinals.

It is also the era of sensational newspaper coverage by sob-sister reporters dishing out trial coverage of bad girls who'd gunned-down the men who done them wrong--"Gin and guns, either one is bad enough, but together they get you into a dickens of a mess."

While The Babe and "the babes" make headlines, Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley, with the help (and occasional interference) of their Algonquin Round Table gang, investigate a rash of murders of psychics who should have seen it coming.

Editorial Reviews

Dorothy Parker and the Regulars of the Algonquin Hotel Round Table are alive and well in Agata Stanford's The Broadway Murders. Descriptions are fantastic in this who-dunnit as Stanford writes very colorfully. This is an adult's picture book, too, which in the end turned out to be pretty terrific.

Suspense Magazine - Terri Ann Armstrong

If you like murder mysteries, the fast-paced action, witty conversation, and glib repartee of the flapper era, you will love Agata Stanford's recreation of the atmosphere of the crowd at the Algonquin Round Table in the 1920s.
