There are lessons to be learned for retired teacher Hildegarde Withers when a society murder reveals a love triangle gone bad.   The war in Europe is over, and America's fighting men are coming home. Lieutenant Pat Montague spent the war dreaming of a return to his beloved: society princess Helen Abbott. But when Uncle Sam finally lets him go, Pat finds that Helen has become Mrs. Huntley Cairns, and he has nothing to return to at all.   He goes to see Helen at the Cairns mansion, only to stumble upon his rival's murdered corpse. The jealous soldier is the obvious suspect, but Pat's friends know he is innocent, and entreat Hildegarde Withers--elementary school teacher and talented sleuth--to clear his name. Huntley was rumored to be involved in the black market, and Miss Withers soon discovers his killer was far more sinister than a soldier with a grudge.   Miss Withers Regrets is part of the Hildegarde Withers Mysteries series, which also includes The Penguin Pool Murder and Murder on the Blackboard.… (meer)

Hildegarde Withers,that interfering and nosy old biddy is at it again. This time she involves herself in a case where the body of a rich and insufferable inhabitant of Long Island is found dead in his swimming pool.At first it is thought an accident,but there are a good many people around who want him dead.
Miss Withers receives a summons to help clear the name of one of the suspects and she begins her meddling once more.At one point she makes a dreadful error of judgement and nearly becomes a victim herself.
Great fun,only slightly spoiled by a rather obvious killer. ( )
