In this installment, the husband-and-wife sleuthing duo tackles two brutal murders lurking beneath the eccentric surface of a deeply dysfunctional family. Crane's writing balances a breezy, wry tone with genuine suspense, making the Abbotts as entertaining to follow socially as they are impressive professionally. A staple of the Golden Age mystery genre, this novel illustrates why Crane was celebrated as one of America's most engaging crime writers of her era.
