One of the things I love about e-books is they've made it possible for long-forgotten books to come back into print at a reasonable price, and I've been entertaining myself reading Golden Age mysteries on my Kindle.
Consequently, I've found myself entirely gripped this very vintage whodunnit. The victim was a thoroughly disagreeable old man (which gives lots of people cause to want to murder him!) and he was surround some very shifty people (including a pair of con-artists living in the flat upstairs) and a large wad of cash has gone missing (more motives!) Oh, and the chief suspect appears to be his granddaughter and heir--who is also the goddaughter of the investigating officer! Frankly I don't expect her to turn out to be the killer, since she's a) the romantic heroine and b) the chief suspect. The obvious person is NEVER the killer in these things.
I'm just sorry Molly Thynne only wrote six mysteries. This is her third one, and so far I haven't hit a boring book.
