Summary: A nice summer afternoon's reading
Comment: This would have been an excellent introduction to Asey Mayo if it had been the first of the series that I'd read. I enjoyed it tremendously, despite the fact that it was not so coherent as many of Ms Taylor's later works. She did an excellent job of bringing the Cape to life, and had a gift for accent and speech patterns. Sadly, there is a bit of bias in her books, which may reflect the times. Certainly her war-time books give a nice historical flavor that I've not seen with many light mystery authors.

Summary: The first Asey Mayo (I believe)
Comment: ...I didn't particularly like or dislike this book. It was written in 1931 which provides some charm. Oh the thrill of a real electric ice box rather than having to meet the train for blocks of ice. Mayo was literally hard for me to understand - his accent is incredibly thick. Also, the narrator is a different person so we don't get much of a sense of what makes Mayo tick.

Bottom-line: Might be worth going out of your way to find if you are either 1)a big fan of early mysteries or 2) a fan of Cape Cod. Otherwise, an ok read if it drops in you lap.
