VAN DINE, S.S., Books, Mystery and Suspense, The Benson Murder Case: Philo Vance #1, New York in the 1920s is the world's most glamorous city, gleaming skyscrapers reaching for the heavens, and the hot notes of the jazz bands rising even higher. Drinking it like the finest French champagne is Philo Vance, an expert in art with the deepest pockets, the brainiest brains, and the most gloriously ludicrous pretentions in the history of crime fiction. When a scheming young stockbroker is murdered - in a delicious locked-room scenario based on a real case of the day - Vance steps in to solve the puzzle not merely because he is bored and seeking new entertainment, but because honor compels him to point out the myriad ways in which the police are getting it wrong. The cops of course are profoundly grateful, like all members of the lower orders when their mistakes are pointed out. Peter Wimsey would be appalled, but the reader will be delighted. Philo Vance (here in his first outing) is the sleuth you love to hate.

VAN DINE, S.S., Books, Mystery and Suspense, The Canary Murder Case: Philo Vance #2, Let us begin by promising that no actual birds are harmed in this story. The Canary of the title is Margaret Odell, once a showgirl in the Ziegfeld Follies, more recently an occasional nightclub singer and professional good time. When she is murdered, there are any number of suspects, all of the male variety. The police, of course, are baffled - it was ever thus - but happily, Philo Vance is on the scene, ready to apply his brilliance, his erudition, his astonishingly nuanced grasp of human nature to the solving of the crime. British crime writer and critic Julian Symons once noted that "It is difficult to grasp the extent of Van Dine's success," but a success he surely was: Canary stayed on bestseller lists for months, and was filmed with William Powell and Louise Brooks. Will you cozy up to Philo Vance? Unlikely. But you'll have a dandy time.
