Book #2 in the Double Feature Mystery series is just as much fun as the first installment, if not more so. A clever plot with theater owner Elliot Freed hosting a legendary comedy duo - now elderly men - in a special performance before a showing of one of their classic comedy movies at Elliot's theater.My one criticism is that Chapter 1 starts off a little slow, and it's helpful to have read the first book in the series, "Some Like It Hot-Buttered," in order to keep the parade of characters straight. Other than that, though, I loved everything from the hilarious dialogue to the rich characterization. I can't say enough about Jeffrey Cohen as a writer in the cozy mystery genre. His work is such a refreshing change from the barrage of bakery/catering sleuths who give us better recipes than writing quality. Elliott Freed is showing something unusual at his comedy theatre - a splatter western that his projectionist made. The film disappears and Anthony is convinced he took it. Meanwhile, he learns one of his comedy idols lives nearby and he arranges a showing of his film. To his surprise, both of the comedy duo show up. Only he finds a 50 year old murder mystery and can't not investigate.Wlliott is fun. And he stubborness in the face of common sense at times leads to some dangerous adventures. But it is a fun ride!
What do You think about It Happened One Knife (2008)?
Continuing likable. The character pushes suspension of disbelief too far.
