SPILL THE JACKPOT, A Donald Lam, Bertha Cool Mystery by Erle Stanley, Writing Under the Name of A. A. Fair Gardner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book is a light mystery novel that tells the story of a scrappy detective who is on the case of a missing fiancée. I read this book as a Vegas/Gambling historian. It was fun to read the parts describing contemporary Vegas of the 1940s. There are some interesting passages describing slot machines in diners in California, and various scenes in Fremont Street casinos in the 1940s. Worth a quick read if you are interested in Nevada/California gambling history.
