Van Dine\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike \u003ci\u003eThe Gracie Allen Murder Case\u003c\/i\u003e before it, \u003ci\u003eWinter\u003c\/i\u003e was first written as a screenplay, in this case a vehicle for the figure skater Sonja Henie. However, while Allen's scatterbrained persona made a charming foil for Philo's stuffed-shirt pretensions, Ms. Henie provided no such inspiration. Van Dine did not live long enough to see her outed as a Nazi supporter, but her ice-princess act offered less for Philo to play against. It should be noted that \u003ci\u003eWinter\u003c\/i\u003e was published posthumously to close out the series, and though it went to press without Van Dine's usual repeated revisions, it is true vintage Philo--utterly distinctive in style and its own very genuine kind of pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 7.95 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 20, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767965188384,"sku":"9781631942075","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/a0ebd6146a8d03f7ad7466ed6eca149a.webp?v=1780321676","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-winter-murder-case-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
