Nor does the series protagonist, Basil Willing. I will have to try one of her books someday.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-13423718077042992832015-07-15T08:44:34.482+01:002015-07-15T08:44:34.482+01:00I do see what you mean, looked at from a certain a...I do see what you mean, looked at from a certain angle. I was too busy looking at the clothes... But I think Gloria Swanson was definitely an old-time diva, very commanding to say the least.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-53968960337234131392015-07-15T08:43:40.301+01:002015-07-15T08:43:40.301+01:00Yes, I really wish I could dress like that now.
A...Yes, I really wish I could dress like that now.<br />And thanks - I like Ngaio Marsh and love theatrical mysteries, so I shall look for that one next. She wrote very well about that world, didn't she?

The New York theatre world is such a great context for a story. Actually, New York itself offers so many terrific possibilities for story contexts... The writing style seems appealing, too, just from the bits you've shared. Glad you enjoyed this. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
