Christina reviewed The Vicious Circle by Otto Penzler
Review of 'The Vicious Circle' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Ring Lardner's "Haircut" is the best, followed by Dorothy Parker's O. Henry-prize-winning "Big Blonde" and S.J. Perelman's "Farewell, My Lovely Appetizer." Most stories, including "Big Blonde" however enjoyable and cleverly told, stretch the notion of "crime" and "mystery". Definitely worth a read for Algonquin Round Table enthusiasts and readers.
