The Canary Murder Case

A beautiful showgirl, name "the Canary" is a scheming nightclub singer. Blackmailing is her game and with that she ends up dead. But who killed "the Canary". All the suspects knew and were used by her and everyone had a motive to see her dead. The only witness to the crime has also been 'rubbed out'. Only one man, the keen, fascinating, debonair detective Philo Vance, would be able to figure out who is the killer.

My take

A stylish 1929 mystery where a scandalous nightclub singer's murder sets off a chain of investigation through New York's glittering underworld. Arlo would appreciate the period intrigue and layered character suspicions in this early talkie detective yarn.
