Did She Fall? By Thorne Smith
(From the DJ flap) "The beautiful blonde Emily-Jane was the victim. So many people were trying to murder her that they fairly stepped on each other.
But you really couldn’t blame them.
Meet Aunt Mattie, who would rather stab in a fit of passion than through sheer carelessness; Sam Stoughten, who watered plants at midnight because he felt sorry for the things; Daniel Crewe, who was tired of his face; Barney, who abandoned his studies of purple oranges and orange grapes to paint murderers; and those two amazing officers of the law who were both named Timothy Shay and didn’t know what to do about it.
You’ll find them the most delightfully impossible group of murderers and suspects you ever came upon.

Topper Finds His Ghosts Again In
TOPPER TAKES A TRIP
By Thorne Smith
You remember Cosmo Topper, who fell among a group of gay young ghosts, particularly Marion Kerby, so lovely and full of life that even death could not subdue her. Now staid, middle-aged, suburban Topper and his wife, a woman with a lot of character and a waistline, take a holiday on the Riviera, and Topper, to his discomfiture and delight, finds his dear old ghosts again—especially Marion.
The affair of the driverless taxicab, the episodes of the German model and the lost bathing suit, of Oscar (who was less a dog than a tail), the poor old French racehorse who won a race sitting down, and the croupier whose chips were bewitched, make a mad and hilarious satire in Thorne Smith’s most divinely insane manner."
