Why read it?
1 author picked Beginning with a Bash as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Golden Age mystery aficionados know Phoebe Atwood Taylor’s humorous Cape Cod mysteries, but they may not be familiar with the even more hilarious—in my opinion, anyway—mysteries she wrote as Alice Tilton.
A friend lent me Tillton’s The Left Leg. As soon as I’d read its last page, I was on the hunt for the rest of them.
Beginning with a Bash is the first in Tilton’s series starring Leonidas Witherall, a boys’ school headmaster, radio detective story writer, and dead ringer for William Shakespeare.
These mysteries read more like capers, with Witherall ricocheting around Boston as he stumbles over corpses,…
From Angela's list on screwball mysteries from the golden age of detection.
