The Odor of Violets av Baynard Kendrick
Not enough to convince me I want to read any more by him.
This was fun. I have never heard of this golden age detective before. A little silly, of course, and over the top, but a good read nonetheless.
Interesting mystery, set in contemporary (ca. 1942) New York City. Old mysteries regarding a supposed murder-suicide, and a collapsed bank, have suddenly resurfaced. A blind investigator is brought in to find out the truth, and in a cunning bluff, unmasks the criminal. This was the kind of thing that the Max Carrados mysteries should have been, but wasn't. Interesting characters, and the setting is fun.
Unlike Blood on Lake Louisa, this has an urban (Miami, Florida setting and involves the murder of a gambler who is actually a burglar. The detectives are Stan Rice and a competent policeman, Vincent Leroy.
