Volume 3 in the Casey Crime Photographer series! This lighthearted crime drama spotlights witty dialogue, fanciful characters, and the congenial atmosphere that comes from setting much of the show's action against the backdrop of a popular watering hole. The plots are basic—Casey snaps photos for the Morning Express and finds himself playing amateur sleuth by getting involved in the stories he covers—but what sets the series apart is its laid-back atmosphere, chiefly personified in its backdrop of The Blue Note Café. There, in-between assignments, the characters engage in badinage with their philosophically sardonic bartender pal Ethelbert, often to the melodious accompaniment of the Blue Note's background piano. Strong characterizations and fine scripting continue to make "Casey" a delightful and enjoyable series.
