Black And White And Dead All Over by John Darton

John Darnton spent some 40 years at the New York Times, so it would be a little surprising if his new novel, a murder mystery set mostly in the newsroom of a Manhattan daily newspaper, did not borrow a bit here and there from the experience. But Darnton does more than borrow; he unashamedly steals from Times lore, and he poaches the quirks of its personnel. He uses this material to fashion a very funny roman a clef in which the roman and the clef may be enjoyed separately or together.
