Customer Reviews

Great New Felony and Mayhem Mystery

This detective novel is written by one of the few American authors of the Golden Age -- Elizabeth Daly. I am very glad to see it in a fine paperback edition. It is indeed worth buying!

Entertaining golden age mystery

Daly's amateur detective Henry Gamadge is hired by a once-great, now not-so-much, New York family to save them from what they think is a plot to divest them of their inheritance. As always, Daly's writing is easy to follow, and this plot is very interesting, with a hint of something unnatural going on behind the scenes (not quite supernatural, but vaguely so.) The book also introduces us and Henry to his future bride, Clara.
