It should be a fairly routine job for Henry Gamadge: Examining the papers of a dead poet and playwright with some early promise but not much commercial success. But it's not so much the life and letters as the death of the author (murdered in Central Park) that interests Gamadge. Add in a dead witness and the odd behavior of the family, and Gamadge decides something criminal is afoot. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The family is not very close. In fact, the space the widow lives in seems to be shut off from the main family home. There is the fact that the widow is so secretive about her husband’s death by murder. Why was the husband out so late the night of his murder? Where were they getting the money to live on if this poet/writer hadn’t written anything new in the last few years?
Gamadge is known for his expertise on books, but he has become more known for his success in solving murders. This mystery is right up his alley.
Elizabeth Daly’s books were written in the last of the 1940s to 1950s and are in the vein of Christie and Sayers. One of my favourite eras. ( )
