The Case of Moomah's Moolah (A Richard Sherlock Whodunit) - Jim StevensHilarious! What a bunch of Loonies! A dysfunctional family with wealth unimagined, with a matriarch who thinks she's Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz and a variety of spoiled rich offspring... enter insurance detective Richard Sherlock, with two precocious daughters in tow and a screwball assistant (part of the family) to look into a kidnapping, a number of larcenous adventures with a police detective who talks like Charlie Chan; add a variety of underworld screwballs and the recipe for a thoroughly enjoyable read is set out for the reader. And Stevens pulls it off with no violence, no shootings...none of that. Super!
