didn't seem worth finishing, esp when Everand took it out of circulation for a few weeks

Pat Abbott estaba listo para casarse con Jean Holly cuando Molly Terrill entró en su oficina para denunciar la desaparición de su hermano.
Durante siete años, Molly no había tenido noticias de su hermano. Luego recibió un telegrama diciéndole que fuera a Frisco para salvarlo del peligro. Al llegar allí, descubrió que la dirección que le habían dado no existía.
Ansioso por irse de luna de miel, Pat remitió a Molly a Charley Dickens, otro detective. ¡Apenas una hora después, Pat recibió la noticia de que Dickens había sido asesinado!
Su boda se desvía, Pat sigue el rastro del asesino y lo sigue hasta una sorprendente conclusión en esta exitosa novela.

I picked this up as an Advanced Reader's Copy thinking, hey, sometimes I really dig period writing, especially mysteries -- there's something cool about reading a book from the past where you get an entirely different world view and setting.

In this case, not only did I not click with the characters -- honestly, it reads more like a trial report or a newspaper article than a novel -- but I have reached a point where I just can't deal with the inherently patronizing attitudes of the White main characters to the non-White and Indigenous characters who surround them.

To be fair to Frances Crane, I think her characters would have been seen as progressive for her time period, and they are less overtly racist or insulting than Dorothy Sayers or some of the other recent period writers I've been reading. Unfortunately, that isn't sufficient for me anymore.

Advanced reader's copy provided by Edelweiss.

I enjoyed this mystery featuring the husband and wife sleuthing team of Pat and Jean Abbott. The mystery was interesting and it's well written, however, the solution to the murder was disappointing and really didn't make sense to me.
