Algonquin 01 - Murder Your Darlings (2011)

About this item

Dorothy Parker once said, "I don't care what is written about me so long as it isn't true." In that case, we're sure she'd be delighted with Murder Your Darlings, J.J. Murphy's charming first mystery in the Algonquin Round Table series. Dorothy Parker is early for the usual lunchtime gathering at New York's Algonquin Hotel when she spies a body under the table: it's the loathed drama critic, Leland Mayflower. How fitting that he was dispatched through a heart no one knew he had...by a fountain pen! But now the Round Table wits are suspects. Taking pity on one murder suspect-a scruffy young writer named Billy Faulkner-Mrs. Parker sets out to vindicate her friends and find out who really rang down the curtain on the crusty critic.
