They're all ready to pop out of this potpourri of perilous predicaments from the Queen of the Whimsical Whodunit. Featuring all her favorite sleuths - Max Bittersohn and Sarah Kelling, Professor Peter Shandy, August Fox - and the eccentric enclaves of New England's cities and countryside, these short stories are packed with wacky, wonderful humor and good old-fashioned suspense.
There's murder in a massage parlor, dreadful doings at a British dinner party, larceny for sale at a general store, sinister schemes at Balaclava College, and merry mayhem from Boston to Maine - in this grab bag of fun-filled mysteries, which includes five never-before-published tales of murder most foul.
