Big Fun,
By Mimerki "mimerki" (Port Orchard, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rocket to the Morgue (Mass Market Paperback)
Before there was Bimbos of the Death Sun, there was Rocket to the Morgue.Someone is trying to kill the heir of a famous science fiction adventure writer. But who? Is it the thinly disguised Robert A Heinlein-alike, Austin Carter? (Fun games to play while reading Carter scenes: How many times does he refer to Heinlein or one of RAH's psuedonyms?) This is a fun little book, rather a lot like Bimbos except that it was written in the early 1940s. The mystery is cleverly done, though I will admit that I suspected the conclusion pretty early on. Apparently there is a previous book with the same police detective & nun combo solving the case, but it isn't necessary to read it. The prose gets a little purple from time to time, but what do you want? It's a pulp mystery about pulp science fiction writers. If the prose didn't turn purple periodically I'd be disappointed. Oh, and the Captain Comet breaks are fun too...
