Review

“Virginia Rath knows her town to the last cobblestone and makes it—sinister, storied, or beautiful—add color to a plot in which Michael, the two-fisted he-man dress designer with a temper and a sense of humor equally cocked with no safety device, pulls no punches, but lots of surprises out of his hat.” (Oakland, California, Tribune, December 7, 1947)
