Editorial Reviews

...a whimsical parody ... Applying his peculiar brand of twisted logic to the case, Stanley has some droll exchanges with a literal-minded cop and catches the killer with a trick worthy of Miss Marple.

Marilyn Stasio

Ingenious plotting and a hefty dose of humor. The B and B chef's yummy recipes are also a plus.

Publishers Weekly

The rousing return of Stanley Hastings...like many a Christie mystery--or like Lawrence Block's Burglar in the Library(1997), in which another New Yorker, Bernie Rhodenbarr, solves a murder in a New England B & B--this one is so clever and so much fun that whodunit takes a backseat to the delicious style with which the tale is told.
