Title: Good and solid detective novel with a touch of humour.
Product review: Asey Mayo is a jack-of-all-trades, who becomes an amateur sleuth after the arrest of his friend and boss, Bill Porter. The latter is arrested for the murder of the writer Dale Sanborn, whose history turns out to be different than was supposed while he was still among the living. The novel shows life at Cape Cod in the early 1930s from the viewpoint of Prudence Whitsby, an upper-class spinster who is a resident on the Cape. Interesting and fun, but don't expect Nobel Prize material.
