It's wonderful to read-and even more wonderful to listen to the Audible recording. And the 's so eloquent (Hiya babe) (Whaddar you, copper or a private dick?) and so on. Page boy hairdos, nylons with eases up the back, everyone smoking, heavy eyebrow makeup on all the woman and men wore hats everywhere.

As a college student, I first read the novel and was charmed by the view into my parents life in their early 20s. Vera Caspary died in 1987 and is survived by a literary legacy of strong independent female characters.I was pretty much raised on this novel.my mom loved it and being born in 1943, the time when I was born, I may be the only toddler who was read 'Laura' before bedtime! I saw the movie in my early teens when a 15th year anniversary showing was held at Graumans Chinese Theatre ( the original name) where the movie premiered in Hollywood. After Igee's death in 1964, Caspary returned permanently to New York, where she wrote a further eight titles. Caspary spent this period of self-described 'purgatory' alternately in Europe and America with her husband, Igee Goldsmith, in order to find work. Although she soon left the party after becoming disillusioned, Caspary's leftist leanings would later come back to haunt her when she was greylisted from Hollywood in the 1950s for Communist sympathies. A young woman when the Great Depression hit America, Caspary soon developed a keen interest in Socialist causes, and joined the Communist Party under a pseudonym. Her writing talent shone from a young age and, following the death of her father, her work became the primary source of income for Caspary and her mother. Caspary spent this period of self-described 'purgatory' alternately in Europe and America with her husband, Vera Caspary, an acclaimed American writer of novels, plays, short stories and screenplays, was born in Chicago in 1899.
