Saturday Review of Books, September 23, 1939:
Red Gardenias, Jonathan Latimer (Crime Club $2)
Crime, Place, Sleuth: Several members of wealthy family monoxidized; Bill Crane, assisted by Ann Fortune, goes through hell and high firewater to identify gasser.
Summing Up: Not too credible plot camouflaged by action, alcohol, and atmosphere, with sleuths wise-cracking ribald way through various dangers.
