Stylish and absorbing Henry Gamadge mystery
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is an early Elizabeth Daly mystery, written before she learned to simplify her complex plots and focus on psychological interest, rather than strewing red herrings wildly about. The date is September, 1939. Against the backdrop of war's outbreak, an urbane New Yorker and amateur detective, Henry Gamadge, helps Maine police investigate the mystery of three -- possibly four -- children poisoned with deadly nightshade in a single day. As always, the initial mystery leads Gamadge into deeper and darker territory, as he uncovers long-ago family misdeeds beneath the surface of apparent social respectability.
