Interpretation As Books Spill the Jackpot (Cool and Lam #4)

The fourth novel to feature Los Angeles P.I. Donald Lam and his boss, Bertha Cool, takes place in 1941. Donald has just picked up Bertha from a sanitarium in San Francisco where she has been treated for various ailments. In the process, she has shed over a hundred pounds and is down to a hundred and sixty. The doctor has stressed to both Bertha and Donald that it is essential that she keep off the weight that she has lost, but Bertha, Donald and anyone who reads this series all know what the chances of that are.

Flying back to L.A., Donald and Bertha stop off in Las Vegas to meet with a potential client. (Times are still so innocent that you can get to the airport ten minutes before the plane is scheduled to depart. Once seated, you can still get off the plane two minutes before flight time to get a candy bar in the terminal, and still be back in your seat with time to spare. But I digress...)

The client, who is also from L.A., has a problem. His son's fiancee has abruptly disappeared and the son is heartbroken. The young woman's trail leads to Las Vegas. The father, a big-shot businessman, was not all that knocked about the forthcoming nuptials, but he loves his son. He wants Bertha and Donald to find the missing fiancee; in the alternative, he hopes they can find some proof that she left of her own volition, which will perhaps help repair the poor boy's broken heart.

All of the action in the book takes place in Vegas and Reno. As is always the case with these books, the plot is pretty convoluted and doesn't make much sense in the harsh light of day. But it's always fun to watch Lam at work and to monitor his relationship with Bertha. Readers who enjoy spending time in Las Vegas or Reno in the present day, should enjoy the descriptions of the two cities from seventy-five years ago, well before the age of Siegfried and Roy and Circqe du soleil.

Critique Epithetical Books Spill the Jackpot (Cool and Lam #4)

This may very well be my favorite mystery with Private Detective Donald Lam. A man hires Lam and Bertha Cool to find his son's missing fiancee. The only clue is a mysterious letter from a woman named Helen Framley from Las Vegas. Needless to say the story takes place in Sin City and also Reno.This story is a little longer than later Cool and Lam mysteries (this one was written in 1940) and it is also interesting to get a view of Las Vegas and Reno from that time period. Apparently Reno was the



I first read this book when I was a schoolboy and a lot of the details have stuck with me. Stuff about slot machines and the tricks crooks would use to cheat them. Of course a lot of things have changed since this book was published in 1941. Not just slot machines.It's a crackling joy to read a story like this. A private detective gets hired. Of course the client doesn't tell the detective the whole truth about the case. If it was the kind of situation the client could tell the whole truth

This was recommended to me by someone who saw me buy Perry Mason books. It was ok, but Paul Drake, who only shows up for a third of each book at most, has more personality than the MC.Recommended 13+ for death, language, and romance.

Ensimmäinen lukemani Cool & Lam kirja.Ja se on rakkautta ensimmäisestä kirjasta lähtien. Loistavuutta.

Well, this is the fifth Cool & Lam mystery I've read, and it might be my favorite. Erle Stanley Gardner (writing here as "A.A. Fair") seems to really be enjoying himself at this point in the series. As always I will say: if you can find one of these Cool & Lam stories (many are out of print, and this one is no exception) you will surely have a good time reading it.
