The Second Entry In Steward'S Series (Following Murder Is Murder Is Murder ) Featuring His Friends Novelist Gertrude Stein And Her Companion Alice B. Toklas Is A Droll Tale Of Homicide And Amateur Detection. The Book Assumes Familiarity With The Coterie Of Expatriate Writers And Artists Whose Social Lives In The Years Between The World Wars Revolved Around Stein And Toklas'S Paris Home In The Rue Christine, But A Tightly Plotted Mystery Keeps Incessant Namedropping And Coy Insights Into The Two Women'S Private Affairs From Becoming Irritating. Steward Shares Stein'S Wellknown Fascination With Ratiocination. To Explore It, He Uses A Trio Of Sleuths: The Intellectually Bold Stein, The Detailoriented Toklas And Gay Writer John Mcandrews, Their Legman, Whose Experience In The Secret World Of Homosexual Paris Yields Critical Clues.
