Groucho Marx, King of the Jungle: A Mystery Featuring Groucho Marx (Private Eye Groucho Marx)
by Ron GoulartFrank Denby and Groucho Marx arrive on the set of the new Ty-Gor film, a Tarzan knockoff, expecting to have Groucho do his humorous walk-on. What they find is that Randy Spellman, the star of the picture, has been murdered. Frank's wife, Jane, is only a few weeks away from having their baby and the amateur detective team has promised to lay off on the sleuthing. But when a stuntwoman who has gone missing is suspected of the murder, Jane insists they take up the case to clear the young woman's name. In addition to being a horrible actor, Spellman was a womanizer and a blackmailer. Many people had reason to dislike him, or even kill him, and the investigation leads Frank and Groucho through the glamour and seediness of 1940s Hollywood, Groucho signing autographs all the while. In this latest installment of the series, Ron Goulart is at the top of his game, reminding readers there's no business like show business, except when this charming team is wearing its gumshoes.
Groucho Marx, Master Detective
by Ron GoulartVaudeville trouper, film and musical comedy star, comic quiz-master on radio and TV, Groucho Marx was at one end of the spectrum of the four Marx brothers: his brother Harpo, at least in character, didn't talk at all and Groucho almost never stopped. And just as technology sends his antics along to each new generation, Groucho himself now appears in print in a new and unsuspected career through the medium-the kind of medium that involves table-rapping, that is-of Ron Goulart's imagination. With the full concurrence of Groucho Marx Productions, Goulart casts Groucho in a role that suits him beautifully-he hands him a magnifying glass and sets him up on the hunt for a murderer-in between bouts of verbal war with the sponsor of his new radio show. Although both Groucho and his Watson, a young scriptwriter named Frank Denby, would gladly murder the sponsor, who wants to call the show "Groucho Marx of the Famous Marx Brothers Joins Forces with Deeply Satisfying Orem Brothers Coffee to Bring You Goofy Mysteries Every Week," it's a real murder that the zany actor investigates-the killing of a young actress whom he knew a few years back, and whose death he doesn't believe to be the suicide the police have ruled it. Through the streets of 1937 Golden Age Hollywood the pair go, along with Franks new girlfriend, finding clues, getting death threats, and cracking wise so much in the way of the real Groucho's patter that one wonders whether Goulart isn't really possessed by a very funny, very astute spirit. "Groucho Marx" has always meant laughter and fun. In this hilarious story, it still does.
Groucho Marx, Master Detective: A Mystery (Private Eye Groucho Marx)
by Ron Goulart"Hilarious." - Kirkus ReviewIn this inventive mystery set in Hollywood's golden era, Ron Goulart revives America's favorite cigar-wielding comic--Groucho Marx.

Groucho Marx, Private Eye: A Mystery (Private Eye Groucho Marx)
by Ron GoulartGroucho Marx made the transition from screen to paper in Ron Goulart's widely acclaimed first novel, Groucho Marx, Master Detective, where he debuted as a radio star-cum-private eye. Groucho and Frank aren't enjoying their latest costar, singing child prodigy Polly Pilgrim, a spoiled ingenue. When a prominent Beverly Hills plastic surgeon is found dead in his palatial home, and Polly's mother, the faded actress Frances London, is accused of his murder, Polly's request for Groucho and Frank to help prove her mother's innocence surprises them. She is convinced that Frances has been framed, and despite the mounting evidence against the washed-up perfromer, the pair takes on the case.
Groucho Marx, Secret Agent: A Mystery Featuring Groucho Marx (Private Eye Groucho Marx)
by Ron GoulartIt could be said that in this episode Groucho Marx operates as a Hollywood-style Scarlet Pimpernel, with a repertoire of outrageous puns covering the steely, daring life of a counterspy. But, as Groucho might retort, his cover is at the dry-cleaner, and, besides, Groucho is not one to hide his light under any bushel (even one of stuffed clams). So he and Frank Denby, his sidekick, scriptwriter and close friend, set out to uphold their reputation as amateur sleuths by looking into the death of British director Eric Olmstead. First Olmstead fainted at a star-studded Halloween party after a man dressed as the Grim Reaper had whispered to him and then disappeared. But it is not until the next day that he is found dead--presumably by his own hand. It is 1939; everyone expects the U.S. to join the war raging in Europe. And everyone is looking under the bed for spies. Soon the questions surrounding the death of Eric Olmstead takes on an odor of espionage. The police call Olmstead's death a suicide. After all, he did leave a (typed) note. His widow refuses to believe that her husband shot himself, and persuades Groucho and Frank to look further. Soon the pair is enmeshed in FBI agents and Los Angeles police, while the grieving widow clamors for revenge. Here is where Groucho proves his genius as a detective--he seizes on the clue that reveals the death to be murder. This, however, is only the beginning. There is another murder. Groucho and Frank are attacked; Frank is shot at (but not hit); Groucho is hit (but not shot at; just knocked to the floor by the fleeing assailant). They not only survive, but they pinpoint the Nazi spy and the Hollywood figures working with them. In a romp made delightful in spite of spies, murders, and occasional dire peril, Goulart uncannily resurrects the most garrulous Marx brother and his unique brand of patter. The Groucho Marx of these stories is the next best thing to the capering of the late comedian himself, and a happy gift to everyone who remembers him fondly as well as those meeting him for the first time.
