Recently, I finished reading two murder mysteries by Samuel Steward. The Caravaggio Shawl and Murder is Murder is Murder featuring Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas as the Holmes and Watson of 1930's Paris. The "Caravaggio" book is better than "Murder" but both are good if you are into knowing

more about the day to day life of Stein and Toklas. Steward was a close friend of both women. They may not be easy to find (I got them through E-ZBorrow/ILL) so let me know if I can help.

Solving the mysteries was necessary bur ultimately more of the background detail compared the the day to day detail of lives Stein and Toklas. It's a pleasure to think they lived the way the book described and there's know reason to think they didn't. I hightly recommend this book for anyone interested in Stine and Toklas.

A Gertrude Stein and Alice Tokalas mystery. In this one we have the father of their gardener disappearing. He was on his way to confront another neighbor. Alice just so happened to see him and went to get Gertrude. Upon her return no one's there.
