About “The winter murder case”

The Winter Murder Case (1939) is a novella by S. S. Van Dine that was meant to be expanded into his twelfth full-length novel. The story shows similarities to B mystery films of the 1930s, blending Van Dine's typical style with the cinematic approach of that era. It was designed as a vehicle for the figure skater Sonja Henie. The work was never completed, as Van Dine died before the project was finished. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
