Publisher's summary

There has been a murder in the quiet seaside village of Sutherlandtown....

Agatha Webb and her cook are found dead in the early hours of the morning after a successful party, and it seems just about anyone could be the killer. Some suspect her aging husband; others think it a robbery gone too far.

A few nosy villagers draw a connection between this murder and the deaths of her six children so many years prior: Was she truly a victim, a grieving mother? Or did she play some role in these deaths?

The list of suspects grows when a certain wealthy townsmen is blackmailed by someone who believes he murdered Agatha Webb and her cook.

In the end, it is up to the young Detective Caleb Sweetwater, a native of Sutherlandtown, to untangle this mystery, find the true killer, and bring them to justice.

Enjoyable Early Mystery

Enjoyable 1899 mystery, made better on audio, I suspect than reading it. Quite a few turns here and there. The most enjoyable aspect are Green's characters and how the narrator portrays them so well.

like watching paint dry

Dull, boring snd way too long. There were only 3 female characters, and their names were Agnes, Agatha and Abigail. Confusing. Couldn't the author think of names that weren't so similar?
