THE THEME IS MURDER

by Gavin Holt ‧ RELEASE DATE: Dec. 7, 1939

A potpourri of a strange family, an odd assortment of guests, a few much-involved neighbors, a butler with a past provide the trimmings for an almost good yarn and baffler. Of the English near-to-hardboiled school, a private detective and his interfering assistant nose out the facts of one bloody and one near murder -- but the reader is somehow left floundering.
