A grande dame is buried--but the truth must be unearthed: "The solution of the mystery is neat and satisfactory, and the story makes pleasant reading." --The New York Times Thanks to an illness in the family, Jean Holly is staying in her hometown of Elm Hill, Illinois, for a bit. Her cousin just happens to live next door to Fabian House, home of Mrs. Lake, the richest and most powerful woman in town. When Mrs. Lake dies suddenly, it's ascribed to a known heart condition. But Patrick Abbott, passing through Elm Hill on his way to Washington, becomes suspicious when one death is followed by another--this time, the hanging of the Fabian House maid . . . Praise for the Pat and Jean Abbott Mysteries "Well-plotted and mystifying." --Saturday Review "Amusing and sophisticated." --The Star (London) Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

A small town with many characters. A good to even better dad but the explanation at the end left something to be desired. It had too much from outside teh story to explain motivations etc.
Interested in teh central characters, and having one later in the series, I would be very interested in how their development over time.
