Countryman edition

This second novel in the old Asey Mayo Cape Cod series is a better, more tightly written novel than the first in the series, The Cape Cod Mystery. The plot is less contrived, but only somewhat. A satisfying locked-room cozy.

The Countryman edition is much easier on aging eyes than the mass-market paperbacks.

There's been no shortage of trouble on Cape Cod that March. A house party of men and women has been snowed in?and cut off from the world outside. The host is murdered. Poisoning, the doctor says; probably arsenic. But almost everyone is found to have arsenic among his or her possessions.

Asey Mayo fans, and newcomers, will have much to discover in Death Lights a Candle, with its special New England flavor and Cape Cod characters. As Marilyn Stasio, columnist for the New York Times writes, "Taylor's droll period whodunits are a special treat, thanks to the Codfish Sherlock, Asey Mayo, a salty Cape codger who entertains summer visitors by solving picturesque crimes."
