Disappointed by Weak Mystery
15 November 2018
This is one of those titles I'd heard of my whole life. I never got around to watching it. It makes me wonder if Earl Derr Biggers (of Charlie Chan fame) had not written the book, if it would not have been ignored. Baldpate is a hotel where a writer has come to compose a story. As he works, a series of people parade into the off season hotel. They are up to something, but the subterfuge by the owner and a young woman sent to scare him off, get things into a boil. Soon there are bodies and diversions. Whatever they did doesn't work. it's dull and silly. Pretty typical for the genre of the period.
