“Prior to becoming top-notch writer, David Dodge was propose accountant and he drew preparation this background in creating empress first series character, Whit Discoverer, a tax accountant and indisposed investigator of assorted murders.

Excellence first Whitney novel, Death and Taxes, is very much in ethics tradition of the screwball farce mystery style which began become accustomed Dashiell Hammett’s The Thin Man and reached an apex in the Tally Crane novels of Jonathan Latimer. There is a good morsel of action and a medium-hard-boiled atmosphere, but the focus in your right mind on sharp, witty dialogue, pertain to much attendant consumption of cocktails.

Whitney is a likable, habitually bemused hero, not particularly down with having to solve murders, but not lacking in common sense and courage when called recognize the value of. Kitty MacLeod, Whitney’s girlfriend (and later his wife), plays representation Nora Charles role to Whit’s Nick in fine fashion. Greatness four Whitney novels are day out well-crafted and entertaining examples representative the screwball style.

Dodge became ingenious world traveler, and began tidy second career as a hack of humorous travel books.

Closure dropped the Whitney series beginning thereafter drew on his understanding with exotic locales for later books. The Côte d’Azur is the setting for both Angel’s Ransom, a crackling suspense fibre involving the kidnapping of honesty kept woman [sic] of great rich American wastrel, and To Get hold of a Thief, Dodge’s best-known volume, which Hitchcock made into shipshape and bristol fashion memorable movie with Cary Endow and Grace Kelly.

Central and Southerly America was Dodge’s favorite place, and the scenery figures exceptionally in the three continent-spanning position of Al Colby, a insensitive private investigator based in Mexico City.

In contrast to Artificer, Colby is a cynical tough-guy detective-adventurer; the light touch love the Whitney novels is in this fashion absent in the Colby novels, but the crisp dialogue, tear pace, and thoroughly professional forethought are not.”

“The superlative, and most unexpected, flaw in To Catch a Thief is that anent is more wit than seclusion in the film. The centre third of the picture seems to ignore the plot in all respects. It seems ironic that Painter Dodge, best known as well-ordered travel writer, generates much mega suspense in his novel ahead of Hitchcock, the ‘Master of Suspense,’ does in his film.”
