Zoom Review   Exhibit A Unmasked:   Laraine Stephens  Unites Local History  &  Crime Fiction  to a Riveting Cliffhanger   REVIEW PART ONE   by   Sharni Brazier  All of us were bracing ourselves,  waiting with bated breath  for a jarring account of murder.   Peter Ratcliff, Secretary of  Mordialloc & District Historical Society Inc .  ( M&DH Society ),  lulled us into a false sense of calm  in vividly describing the genteel,   historical origins of the Bayside municipality his organisation serves:   Mentone, Parkdale and Mordialloc.   M&DH Society is dedicated to  meticulously preserving and representing  the cultural heritage  of the municipality’s  past.     Mentone in itself was originally planned  as a refreshing beachside holiday escape  from the teeming bustle of overcrowded  inner “Marvellous Melbourne”.    Its architecture is an echo of this initial vision, with historic buildings dating from the 1880s to the 1920s.   Cred
