The Viola Brothers Shore Mystery MEGAPACK®

By Viola Brothers Shore

Viola Brothers Shore (1890-1970) was an American author who worked in a variety of mediums from the 1910s through the 1930s. Married three times, she began her writing career as a poet and a writer of short stories and articles or magazines. Towards the end of the silent film era, she began writing screenplays, and eventually expanded into theatrical plays and novels. She is best remembered today for her mystery stories and her Jewish-themed stories. Her mysteries appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine in the 1940s and 1950s. She also published two mystery novels, The Beauty Mask Murder (1930) and Murder on the Glass Floor (1932).

Although this collection focuses on mysteries, it also includes several poems and the complete contents of her 1921 short story collection, Heritage and Other Stories, which provides a good sampling of her mainstream fiction.
