Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Extremely Van Dine-ish--echoes of the Greene and Bishop cases especially. More readable than many Queens of this vintage but second half sags badly. It is never made explicit what it is that certain character(s) suffer from: is it syphilis? ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A Shakespearean actor-turned-sleuth wonders if a suicide's been staged--and suspects the members of an eccentric New York family . . . A ramshackle trawler, the Lavinia D rumbles into New York harbor with empty nets. When its crew spies something floating in the water, they drag it in, hoping for a profitable catch. Their prize flops on the deck, limp, cold, and bloody: the corpse of a man. His name was York Hatter, and he had disappeared from his house on the fashionable Washington Square several days before. He hadn't left a note and he wasn't carrying any money. The police assume he killed himself--but they are very wrong. The Hatter family is famously eccentric, and when a murder attempt is made on York's invalid stepdaughter, any one of them could be the culprit. Solving the case will fall to Drury Lane, the retired Shakespearean actor who has turned his genius to solving crimes. But he may find that these Hatters are so crazy and so deadly, they even put Hamlet to shame. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
