The Winter Murder Case

Resumen

The Winter Murder Case is a Philo Vance novella that S. S. Van Dine intended to expand into his twelfth full length book, a project cut short by his death. The Winter Murder Case seems especially similar to the B mystery movies of the 1930s, a cross between Van Dine's usual style and the film style. It was intended as a vehicle for Sonja Henie.
Van Dine's last two books were intended as Hollywood scenarios. Both are shorter than Van Dine's typical novels.
